I was driving down the road and saw this Whistle Clock sitting on a table at a yard sale. Caused three crashes getting off the road but it is mine.

Well this will come as no surprise to you all but I still dont have the hang of putting pictures up here. It is tough when you grew up in the 8 track tape era.
The clock is great looking unlike the picture. The lady said it had just been sitting in its box for years, she had just thrown the box away in the garbage the day before. Garbage already picked up, fighting temptation to drive to landfill  '>

well it was on a city street and they had it leaned up on a post, so it was easy to spot.
She said she could not take less than 25.00 when I first asked and that is what I got it for.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Driving down the street and this clock jumps out at you, that's a great story  '>
Petretti's Soda Pop guide only has 1 Whistle clock, but is is made of masonite and wood. Is yours what they call a PAM clock?
What is written on back, any date found?

It is a Pam, with the orginal sticker on the back out of New Rochelle, I would post a picture but you see my picture posting abilities. This clock is very clean. I am going to clean the glass and polish the rim, the clock runs backwards (I have see this before on Pam's) ususally u turn the plug over (Iknow it sounds silly) and they will run right. This one did not but lights up perfectly. I may replace the motor if I can not get it to run right or I may just use it as a time machine.... '>

I started thinking......... I think I have a clock just like that. Mines a little worn. A friend gave it to me, the clock came out of his uncle's grocery store.

Your welcome aspbear1,
I forgot I had that clock until I seen your post. I remember putting it away until I built a shop to hang it in. My shop has been completed for a few years now so I think I'll hang the clock up today.

Put her up she looks good. Does yours have like a stainless steel back or possibly a polished aluminum?

I just could not believe that she had just thrown the box away, one day earlier....

Did you ask if the city had picked up her trash yet?
What a shame! It is like the paper sleeve to a 45rpm record - it makes the 45 more valuable.
Nice score anyway!
