I found a Seth Thomas rex similar to the one below at a thrift shop. It was Seth Thomas’s economy model priced at 12$ in 1921 The case is in good shape minus a small dent and the 89t movement is in really good condition and it had everything but the key. Whoever donated it put the bob in...
don’t think I could ever afford one but the early cuckoo clocks and rooster clocks are interesting. The late 1800’s seemed to be a big time for novelty clocks and atomatons. It’s a shame the carving quality faded off in the 20th century
Nice clocks, I have a Gilbert tambour clock that was given to me as a parts case with a pendulum bob and hands.the case had the gong in it, so I sourced a Gilbert movement that would work in place of the original. I adjusted it some and it seems to be within seconds of satellite time. My next...

I ran across a small boudoir lamp at a thrift store. It still had its cloth cord and inline switch which were in good condition. From the look of the switch on the cord I'd guess its late 20's or 30's. it's about 8 inches tall, wood base with painted porcelain for the main part of the lamp...
Didn't buy any but a thrift store had quite few of American Airlines passenger coffeecups Like this one without the saucer and they didn't have any markings beside American Airlines and japan...
I'm just going to watch it and see how it goes. I haven't seen any of whittakers prior roles, but I'm sure with good writing and plot development Whittaker might do a good job.
this video should be how my rca consollete will sound once its recapped and gone through . During my initial cleaning and test I tried the 45 "little red ridinghood"and was impressed by the sound quality it produced.
