Pricing is one of those things that depends on several factors. What factors you may be asking, things like
where do you live.
Is the economy there good or poor.
Do handmade crafts sell well there.
Are you doing this as a hobby and occasionally sell an item.
Are you doing a flea market ( the prices you will get will generally be MUCH lower than say an art festival )
Were you invited to participate
There are many many more factors ... enough to write a book .. hmmm.. :) anyway to answer your question in my area for a quality craft show I most likely would price that clock at $25 -$30. My prices tend to be on the low side of things.

Remember you price the items so if a customer looks like they would like the item but price is stopping them from buying you can always tell them to make you an offer. Engage them in conversation and a lot of times you will get what you ask for. If not then you can negotiate a fair price and trust me on this they will remember. I have had folks come up to me at other shows and remark about the experience. You always will get from time to time the cheapskate. They do not realize how much time and effort actually goes into one of your creations. Hope this helps.
