Any Clock Collectors Here?

[SPL db]

As if I needed anything more cluttering up the house, I've sort of taken to collecting nice battery operated quartz clocks. Found a few at the local Goodwills. Been looking for names like Howard Miller, Bulova, & others.

Found a nice Howard Miller 635-100 clock in excellent shape for almost nothing

So far my guidelines are it has to be a name I recognize, mainly a mantle or shelf sized, and be interesting looking. Seems interesting looking is winning out more than the other two criterias. I have one that has no markings on it at all and I've been trying to research who made it. Part of the fun!

I love a nice clock. I go for the 30's through 60's electric clocks. It's a fun inexpensive hobby. Good hunting.

I admire the craftsmanship, woodworking, and engineering of beautiful vintage clocks.

Sadly this clock falls into the category of now vintage nostalgia. Found it gathering dust in an antiques shop.

I loved flying on Pan Am and after I disembarked for the last time, I think around 1992, on a clipper flight from Honolulu to JFK if I recall correctly.... I just could not fathom the greatest airline the world had ever seen going out of business.

On the clock there is a red jet that circumnavigates the world with the time, shown at the 12pm position with its shadow at 1. Really neat.

I don't collect clocks, but I do have 2 old wall keywind chime clocks. One is from the mid 1800's that has been passed down in the family and the other early 1900's that my dad bought around 1970. I need to find someone to check them out and make sure they work and get them in action.

Only one - my mother's aunt gave this to me in the 80s or 90s. I had it serviced by Ron Bechler in 1996, it's about ready for another service. Seth-Thomas, I'm too blind to read the serial number.

Wow.... that is a beautiful Seth Thomas clock.

I wish I still had a German cuckoo I got 35 years ago in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. In my opinion, the best mechanical experts on this planet.
