For Our Daily Challenge: Time

 

The antique clock shown has told time for four generations of our family. It was acquired by my paternal great-grandparents at some point after they immigrated to the United States in 1893. The photo-within-the-photo here dates to the early 1930s, and pictures my great-grandmother; if you look closely, you can see the clock on a small shelf on the wall in the upper left of the image. It’s the same clock that I inherited from my parents when they died, and that you see on the shelf here. The clock still works perfectly…as long as I don’t forget to wind it every few days. :-)
