Ebay Auction #150547992314
This is an old clock/ sign that has had a new (fantasy) face added. Check the other auctions, all three of the signs he is selling are fantasy repops on original light boxes. Who buys this *****?
...it's easy for the 'newbies' to be taken in with an original clock body with a new face...by definition, it's an 'old clock', that's just been 'restored'...they don't know/haven't learned where the collectible value lies in such a piece...
...your local flea market probably has an old school clock that some unscrupulous individual has seen fit to doctor, by slapping a decal on the face...'that's an
old Gulf clock, look at the scratches on the back side', etc...there are LOTS of old clocks out there - very few of them had advertising...even some original advertising clocks with rather boring or non-graphic advertising have had 'face transplants' to make them more desirable...
...I think such tinkering adversely affects the value of old advertising clocks in general...enough of this kind of thing, and large numbers of collectors start getting so scared of getting ripped off, that they stay away from all of them, even the authentic clocks...
