Carlton, I bought this same clock, except it was for WLS Chicago, from Dave Bushing a couple years ago for $1,400, decided I didn't have room for it and put it in a major Hunt auction where it pulled in all of $600. Ouch--not one of my better deals! The price of this one vindicated my judgement (WLS should have been even better, no?) but I'm still out the $800. So it goes...

Not a very exciting story as I purchased it in Lelands last auction, I have included another picture with a nodder in the foreground to give it some perspective. Thanks

Very cool items everyone!

Who says you can't find things at flea markets/antique shows?

Below are some of my Brimfield finds. The glove was 30.00, the vintage football pencil box 20.00 and the Tigers 1968 bank in original box was 10.00. I purchased these on Tuesday morning. I also found a tintype and some other cool photos on Thursday. I will post those tomorrow.

Won the Ruth Underwear Box from the latest Hakes auctions. This is my first real piece of memorabilia (besides photos), so not exactly sure how much I'll be collecting here since these can take a lot of space, and I'm not much of a display person. Still, I've always liked this box and have wanted to pick one up.

BTW, I assume that this should be a genuine box and not a fake per this thread: Link

I've always loved these clocks. Yeah...WLS should have gone for a premium
