| LeRoy and LeRoy brothers, French clock makers are all over the web. It was a family industry and there were various craftsmen comprising the artisans using that name all through the 1800s. Some LeRoy clocks bring small fortunes. I can't help you. This is way out of my league, but hope you can find answers. I can feel my way around some old clocks, many can be dated as easily as the face, or works. If something has the potential to be quite valuable, even If I had a hunch, I'd be reluctant for fear of leading you in the wrong direction. |
