I found this cool clock in a storage shed (that had been sitting untouched for decades), early last year. The deceased owner's daughter invited me to pick the house and storage ALONE! I remember it clearly because it was one of my first picks since having my son and I had him in tow, in a sling on my chest. I was also very sick with a cold but how could I pass up a dream pick like this?
Unfortunately I couldn't venture into the storage space too far for fear of spiders, unhealthy dust/dirt and rats. I was wearing flip-flops too. How amateur of me, I know. Without dear son, I would have jumped in head first, regardless of exposed feet. I did however find some cool things just in the first few steps so it wasn't a total loss in the shed.
Turns out these clocks are pretty valuable. There is currently one on Ebay for $495! Now, that is probably pie in the sky, but some have sold (not working) for well over $100. Not bad considering I paid a couple bucks for it.
I was going to put it in my shop, but I think I'll let this guy live on a bookshelf in my house for awhile.
I was immediately drawn to the cool space age mod shape of it.
