I just received the table clock I won off of ebay. FINALLY, an item arrives intact and truthfully represented! I absolutely LOVE it and I think I got a good deal on it. And it works!

I was watching that auction, and I do agree it was a nice piece.

thanks!
This is one clock I will cherish! The pics do not do it justice. The plexiglass is in perfect condition. And it is absolutely silent with the second hand moving fluidly around the face.

Lovely.
better than this little beauty which has just been posted on ebay as a possible Nelson original. The seller states that he has been told that this clock is worth 1000 dollars. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Yikes Riki!
That thing is hideous. I cant make any visual sense of it.
Yes, I am hooked. 🙂 I bought one more on ebay yesterday...I think I got a good deal...the model 860.

I have the exact same clock, only it's a wall clock with a moving pendulum.
It's an Arthur Umanoff "Meridian" clock and to my eyes, it's one of the more refined clocks he designed for Howard Miller,

thanks barry
I like it also. I imagine that makes a beautiful wall clock and must be rare! Mine might need some work but the price was right. I bought one more clock...string clock on ebay today. This is my last clock for awhile, as this clock-buying is getting expensive. Did you see the watermelon clock on ebay? I know that one will go for quite a bit (and out of my price range). I decided only to buy non-reproduction clocks. It is funny as I am not a timely person and as of 6 mos. ago, I had no clocks! I use my cell phone to tell time. I probably wont even plug any of them in. I think they are beautiful and unique and just want them for aesthetics.

I would not use them either
Seems like a waste of electricity.
