Then it's not really in either of our natures to do so. Especially when they have for sale signs on things and when you ask how much it's a dollar here $2 there why worry that you have a garage full of boxed up little items much the same.
So once we had unloaded our trash we paid good money to bring other peoples home - well not really good money just a little.
The main joyous little find were these 3 wind up alarm Clocks. None of them work from what I can tell but I don't mind I love looking at them - besides I have a green one that does work and never wind it because the ticking in this digital age is a little annoying I must say.
The black one is made in Scotland around 1960 and is a Big Ben Repeater. The other 2 are made in China and I have not found any matches in any searches I have done but I suspect they are around the same age. The deco-esq fonts on the face of these 2, which I love most of all, would suggest they are older but I suspect they were being retro with that even then.
I too have a few groovy old clocks that I don't dare wind up. How anyone got sleep in the 60's with these babies ticking away beside them is beyond me.
