Would anyone have any idea what a cast iron Fattorini chess clock (aged about 125-130yrs old) might be worth?

Possibly not as much as you might hope. Hence, not a lot.

It'll date from the mid-1880s, I imagine, because Fattorini & Sons were making these clocks, along with various sports trophies, in their Leeds workshop then. They were neither rare at the time, nor precious. Quite cute though, in a quirky way. Makes you wonder why we went digital

A blog article on this matter noted:

The most expensive item I considered was a Fattorini chess clock. It received 31 bids from 12 different bidders and sold for GBP 2,250 ('approximately US $3,676.50', according to eBay).
