Sligh was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1880 as a bedroom furniture manufacturer. The line of grandfather clocks was purchased from Trend Clock Company to complement its existing line of high-end bedroom furniture. A Sligh grandfather clock was made from 1968 to 2005 in Holland, Michigan.

I do not believe we can help you with this because there are too many factors that will affect the value of your grandfather's clock.
First question would have to be; what type of insurance do you have?
Do you have replacement value or fair market value?
This is the first thing that will determine what value the insurance company will place on your clock.

Insurance wants to see what prices are placed on an exact copy of your item as any different style could be the difference in hundreds/thousands of dollars.

Was a police report filed?
Will this value be presented to an insurance company obtained through the storage facility?
Did you have this type of valuable listed/covered when you purchased the insurance?
Has the insurance company notified you that your items are covered?
Will this case go through the court or does the insurance company settle with the individual?
Do you have evidence this item was actually inside the storage?
Do you have any pictures of your grandfather's clock?
Do you have any type of provenance showing ownership of this clock?

You need to know all answers to the above questions before you present a value to the insurance company.
You need to answer the first question before going any further:

Type of insurance coverage?
Replacement value or fair market value - BIG difference.

With some answers to these questions, you can ask for help on Quora as attorneys answer these questions. They can tell you how to obtain a concrete appraisal for your clock.
Just be sure to tell them where you are located, as laws are different in every state.
