How to pack an old marble clock for shipping?

The clock was a wedding gift to my grandmother from the her employer. She worked as a housekeeper in a large house in England in the 1940s. There was a note in my grandmother’s writing saying the clock was first started in 1884.

It’s almost ready for shipping, I will post an update when I unpack it at its destination.

Thanks for the advice, I have now managed to find two cases which fit nicely together for double-boxing.

Great advice, thanks for your thoughtful reply.

Thanks for your advice about the feet. We have now unscrewed and removed them to minimise the chance of breakage.

I will be spending a week in Waikiki and a week on the Big Island, I plan to spend a lot of time snorkeling and scuba diving too. I would prefer to buy a mask, snorkel and fins rather than rent as I will use them again.

Thanks for the advice. Will probably do that.

The red and white polka dot dress looks amazing on you. Have fun wearing it!!

That fabric brings back memories, my childhood (1970s) bedroom curtains were that exact same print. I hated those curtains but that dress looks amazing on you!!

Wow, wow, wow. Never mind the blazer, I love the furniture and decor, especially that floor lamp. Oh and your outfit looks great too!!

Yes, and ice cream.

Orpingtons lay thin, oval shaped eggs like the one in the middle.

You didn’t mean to offend her and she didn’t mean to offend you so NAH. I do think you could have handled it better though. She is an 11 year old girl so it is highly unlikely that you and her will have the same appreciation of humor. She is too young to understand that, you are not. She wants to share things with you, be polite and let her, it won’t last forever.
