Joanne and Jerry acquired the clock around 1975 from an antique store in Orange County California. It was made by the Gustav Becker Clock Company. Described as a “Bim Bam” Coffin Clock.

The left weight powers the striker for the chime and the right weight powers the 7 day mechanism. You can use brasso to clean them, and they gather fingerprints very easily!

In setting up this clock I had to make certain it was level front to back and side to side which it now is. I tis also in a corner away from foot traffic, which can halt the mechanism.

I am honored to be given such a beautiful piece and although it will live at the B&B with us, if we ever move it joins us on that move!

We really like to support local business, as we are a locally owned and operated business ourselves. We try to Buy Local where appropriate and possible, and practice sustainable practices at our Inn.

We would like you to consider using the Swantown Inn Bed and Breakfast featuring the Attic Day Spa in a number of ways.

1. For your own in-town romantic getaway. Stay overnight and treat yourself to a couples massage with your partner. If you read the reviews at places like Spa Finder you will see we have some of the best Massage therapists in town.
2. Use us to house your visiting relatives. When Grandma and Grandpa visit your kids, put them up with us or recommend us. We offer a 20% discount for stays of 5 or more nights. If we have the room at the breakfast table we often invite our guests to invite their family for breakfast too.
3. Just come for a massage! You know you deserve one!
4. Do you have business colleague visiting you here in town? We provide desks in all of our guest rooms, free WIFI, and space to meet clients in our sitting room.
5. We have the most comfortable beds in town! For the best nights sleep, sleep here! Don’t believe us though, see what guests say on TripAdvisor or Yelp.
