The numbers that you found inside your clock indicate that it is a Hermle westminster chime, weight wound movement. This movement is still being manufactured today and parts, should they be required, are available. The 451-050 movement is one of Hermle's smaller westminster chime movements and is more often found in grandmother sized cases.

I believe that the King Arthur company is no longer in business. They were one of a couple of clock companies formerly located in Fairhope AL. They only manufactured the clock cases and installed clock movements in them from outside suppliers.

It's difficult to place a value on your clock without being able to see it or examine it first hand. You could scan eBay listings under the section on grandfather clocks. If you can find a similar clock that should give you a rough estimate of prices. Age and condition can effect value as well.
