My best clock find yet

[frankendime]

Sign said estate sale but was more like a yard sale. Not a lot to be had and it was all in the yard. I show up late around noon and this is laying on the table. I was almost afraid to ask how much. I made eye contact with the guy and pointed. He says $20. Paid him and then asked if it worked and he said yes. Measures 20 x 20 and does run and light up. Keeps good time though its a little squeaky when the second hand sweeps the bottom. Clockworks are made by ToastMaster! My research tells me possibly 70's and was given to dealers. All wood frame. Oak? Glass is good with a couple little scritches and no cracks. I dig it! Wish it was neon. Big bucks there.

Also got this Hamilton Model S-1 Lamp in excellent working condition at another sale for $4. Extended length over 3 ft..

HH All!

Awesome find! Someone will love to have that in their garage or man-cave. Appeals to a variety of collectors. I love my Jeep and would hang that up.

I know a few Dodge & Plymouth fans who would love to have that clock. I think your spot on being 70's era. Who knows what that would sell for? Could surprise you.

A mopar clock just like this sold on eBay last month for $115 or $120. Two cracks in the glass and both lights worked. Nice find.

I seen that one. I believe it sold for $110 and $25 shipping. Also seen one somewhat similar except it was neon and a little older that sold for $1135 and $100 s&h

Any way you could rig a neon light on yours??... I think I'd try that for that kind of money. May be no one would ever ask is the neon original to the clock. Even if they did you can just tell that prospective buyer an honest answer in the message reply.
