So, it truly was a refreshing change of pace, and, truly - it really is about "time", that I went into a thrift store and found a great vintage item, one that was actually worthy of an antique shop price - yet was priced very reasonably. That was the case with this wonderful art deco Telechron clock.
I guess it was just my lucky day! I love vintage clocks. Not sure why, but I just do. Love it:
And while the one below is not vintage, I love it, too. I have admired similar clocks for a number of years in mail order catalogs, and never wanted to pay the $30 price that was usually on them. My "Big Ben" with the classic style and pewter finish? A very reasonable $1.99. Running perfectly,and with a battery already in it:
Yes, it's about time, all right - and that's more like it!

Great clocks! Great prices too. I agree with you about the pricing. I still get a laugh about the shop in San Andreas and the tag that said 'really, really old" Remember that? Love T
Nice clocks! Reminds me of my Jefferson Golden Hour mystery clock. I'm still not sure how it works!

I grew up with “Big Ben” and just love the one in the picture, Heidi. Classic style, pewter finish, & running perfectly for $1.99. My! I’m going to have to spend more time shopping thrift stores. (Though, all too often, overpriced & not even 1/2 as antique as I am. "Original Oil Paint-By-Numbers, Discounted to $19.99!!!")
Thanks, Heidi
