If I am not mistaken, Grogan was a high end jeweler in Pittsburgh. It was common to have the jewelers name put on the face of the clock or watch at the factory. All high end jewelers did this. Rarely if ever did they actually make a clock or watch. The most well known is tiffanys. they never made a clock or watch but puchased very high end and had the name added. I am sure your clock fall into this catagory. Any 8 bell clock is very high end. Its great that you have all the history of your clock.

George, you are correct. I had forgotten about that detail.
 
Here's the massive collection. All with some family connection.

L-R: modern Belair (gift from my wife), 1939 Hamilton, 1907 Illinois, 1899 Hamilton

All work, though the 1899 Hamilton needs work as you can't reset the time anymore.
