Antique Clock Give-Away!!!
I set a deadline for myself of six months to reduce my antique clock collection down to a dozen…. Nine months ago.
 Ahem…. Anyway, I gave away some on here, donated some to my antique clock club, sold some, even donated one to a museum (in Germany!). I have finally cut down my collection to my goal!  … …. … (almost). Up for any TRFer is a 1937 Telechron, restored about two years or so ago it is running perfectly. Just post in this thread, and Monday, at exactly 12:49PM PST (or whenever the hell I feel like it) I will draw a winner from the post numbers. The only thing I ask is the lucky recipient post a picture of it in his/her home. That’s it! Good luck TRFers, post away and hope you enjoy a nice antique clock.

Sexxy, you're awesome! I defer to others so-as not to seem greedy.

Nicely done, Paul! These pieces of history must be preserved, so I'm glad one ended up at a museum. Although I've got no space for this, I'm here to wish all good luck and the winner to be congratulations. These threads always make me feel good to see!

No matter what they say, I'll always be here to vouch for my good man Paul.
Count me out, as I too have too many "things", but another wonderful gesture from our favorite jet jock!

Another nice gesture by Paul.
I’m really starting to rethink my feelings about him…. But please count me OUT of this drawing, as I’ve already been the recipient of one of Paul’s beautifully restored clocks. |

As a previous winner of a clock, I will sit this one out. I have never readjusted the time on this clock. It’s amazing mechanically and beautiful.

Does this inventory reduction mean your restoration days are over or are you simply making room for future projects?
