A celebration! And another antique clock give away

[TheVTCGuy]

Ladies and Gents of TRF,

As some of you know, I collect antique clocks, specifically those made by a company called Telechron, and more specifically pre-WW2 models. I am hardly a hard-core collector, but own about a dozen which I present at my (NAWWC) shows and display in my home. Over all, my collection is not worth probably an inexpensive Rolex, but I truly enjoy it.

I specifically like a model that was kind of a novelty and looked like a GE monitor top refrigirator, it was given out to customers that purchased a fridge as a free-giveaway, and was never sold in stores. This was from 1928 until 1931 and there are two basic models, I own one of both. Well, through my research.... I found out there was a VERY rare THIRD model, actually produced in 1927. No pictures (that I could find) exist but it was described in a couple books. For the last five years, I have devoted my searches to find one. WELLLLLLLL..... A couple weeks ago, I met up with a collector that had one, he sent me pictures, and I offered him my kidney. He was a super nice guy, said he wanted it to go to a collector that would appreciate it, and sold it to me for a steal!

I GOT MY GRAIL CLOCK!!!!!

But I am getting way ahead of myself, I plan on doing a thread later on with pictures of all three models and a detailed explanation. Right now the clock is at a Telechron expert for restoration, it will probably take a month or so before it is finished and I can’t wait!!!!! I am already looking for room to display it, and being that I have too many clocks as it is already, have decided to give one of mine away.

Anybody that is interested, post in this thread and on Sunday evening, at 4:37:29 PM Local Pacific US time I will pick a random winner. It is a 1937 model called “the Majestic” and designed to sit on the desk of a sucessful individual.... so Jocke doesn’t qualify. Below is a picture of the give-away clock. Good luck!
