I started working on clocks in 1971 when I was in Junior High School I have a great passion for these old clocks and have always shopped for the best in quality and originality. I buy clock collections and I am able to offer very nice clocks from these collections plus my own personal collection as well. My clocks are some of the best being offered on ebay. Unless otherwise stated your clock will arrive in great condition you will not have to start repairing it or replacing items to get it in running condition. I also sell parts, restoration clocks and these will be recognized in this manner. Please bid with condfidence ask questions and I recommend a phone call as this is the best way to find out everything you need to know. My packaging on the clocks are a very professional packing job with no corners cut to save on bubble wrap or styrofoam. I prefer to place extra packing them have the clock arrive damaged because enough was not placed. I have been a member of the NAWCC since 1971 and have served as the Chapter President for many years.
