Let's post photos of old clocks that don't work.

I have no idea what this one is, I believe it's a wind up something or rather but it belonged to great grandparents. probably hasn't worked in a century lol. Looks nice though.

It looks english but honestly I have no idea.

Date on it is 1859.

It chimes when you wind it up and manually move the minute hand past 12 but doesn't keep time :(
