Does anyone know about old clocks?

Found this stashed away, pretty heavy,no key and looks like it's missing a few bits. Quick Google suggests newest it can be is 1870s, any recommendations on where to take it/is it worth enough to take it somewhere specialist?

American mass produced spring clock. Not hugely valuable

Take it to a proper auction house that handles antiques or a clock repairer, not a pawn shop. They'll tell you free what it is and whether it's worth fixing. Missing key and parts usually means it's a project, not a payday, so don't spend money before someone's looked at it.

There is a clock shop in Romford market, dropped my Grandfather clock thete after being idle for years.

Done a great job cleaning, untangling chains stuck in cogs, all working again but won't release it until he gets the chimes spot on.

I was quoted 470 quid, sounded a lot but it really isn't for the time and effort put into it.

That clock has sentimental value though,
