Astronomical clock tied to Hagerstown at museum

(Examiner) - $101,750 for a clock.
It's a tall clock - almost nine feet high.
It's also pretty impressive, with four dials that show the hour, date, day of week and month of the year, plus a second hand. Above the dials is a revolving graphic showing the phases of the moon - thus its designation as an "astronomical" clock - and there are meticulous inlaid designs in the mahogany case. Continued
