Looking for a good wall clock

[Chainfire]

2. I have bought several nice mechanical clocks from eBay.

Check around for clock repair shops, they will generally have refurnished units to sell that would fall well under your budget. I have a couple of old Korean made mantle type clock that keep time to within a couple of minutes a month, they run 30 days between winding and cost about $75.00. They outperform my much more expensive old American made clocks.
