Failing health is forcing collector Raymond Gilliam to sell off more than 400 of his prized clocks.
Gilliam, 81, has some clocks that date back to 1880. Some of his more sought-after pieces are double-dial clocks, which also keep up with the date as well as the time.
He started his clock collection when he worked at Owens Corning in Anderson.
“I bought one and worked on it,” he said. “There must not have been much wrong with it if I fixed it. But after that I thought I was a clock fixer.”
He has been collecting the clocks for the past 50 years. His Ox Yoke Antiques buildings on U.S. Highway 29 in Anderson, along with all the contents, are to be sold at auction April 21-22.
