Ed, this won't fulfill your criteria (I'm 0/2 there
) but this is the clock I grew up with. When I first went to elementary school, and my teachers were trying to teach me how to read time, how what the big hand and the little hand meant, I kept telling them that my clock at home "Had no hands". I think they thought I had special "needs" at that point. Finally I brought this in for Show-and-Tell, and they were stunned.
It was one of the first digital clocks made, and my father was given one as a present from one of his hospitals. It's a Seth Thomas model 5038. I picked this one up at an auction a few months ago. My best guess is circa 1964.

I'm not sure this has chimes, but this is also an interesting mantel clock. A Plato Clock. Very early digital:

I'm collecting far less expensive clocks. I presently have a Nixie Tube clock, and a few flip clocks. All stuff from my distant past.
I haven't delved into large mantel clocks (my Atmos is the closest to that). SWMBO would likely kill me. Plus, no mantel here in this house (sigh...)
I'm sure you'll love what you find. Pick something special.
