Age of the ethan allen grandfather clock

Question

I am trying to determine the age of the Ethan Allen grandfather clock Model #08-3805 Movement W Serial #1292. Also how do I care for the clock.

Answer

Companies such as Ethan Allen did not publish much information on clock numbers for reference. I do not have any catalogs from Ethan Allen and cannot really help you there. There is one possibility. Can you give me all the information found on the back plate of the clock movement? If you can remove the back panel behind the movement, it will be rather easy. If you can only see the movement through side panels, you might have to use a small mirror and flashlight to obtain the information. Get back with me with what you find.
