George Nelson clock  

This clock was
available three ways; electric, battery and 8-day wind.
But the vintage battery pack would've been made for a C battery, so it looks like your clock had a new motor put in.
Depending on the price, get it!
Whenever I buy a vintage clock, if it doesn't work, I take it in for repair and my guy will replace the non-working motor, so don't worry 'bout it.
The only issue, if it's being sold as original vintage with a working vintage motor, then that might not be kosher.

thanks barry!

OK...I saw it on eBay too
in my opinion, it's too expensive.
Even more than what you'd pay for it on 1st Dibs.

I saw the same one, nice but ...
I saw the same one, nice but way too much in my opinion. With the broken spool, correct?

Not on ebay
This one is being privately offered. No broken spools. And it works. Still seems too high to me though...
