This last week I bought two granddaughter clocks at an auction in West Sussex.
A granddaughter clock is similar to a grandfather clock, but is shorter than 1.5m (5ft).
The first clock I bought was described in the auction catalogue as follows:A George VI GPO electric wall clock converted for use as a Granddaughter clock, with 8" dial having a crowned Royal Cypher, contained in an inlaid mahogany case 52" (estimate £30-50)
GPO (General Post Office) clock dial
The second clock was described as:A striking Granddaughter clock (estimate £20-30)
No the cat didn't come with the clock!
The clock pendulum was missing so I've made a temporary pendulum using a stick, some wire and a ball of Blue Tack. The clock is now running but the pendulum still needs to be replaced.

Great clocks...didn't know you could get a granddaughter clock :-)
You can also get a grandmother clock.
A grandmother clock is over 1.5m (5 ft) and under 1.8m (6 ft).
