My Find of the Week

[aspbear1]

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 '>

Wow, that's great!  You saw that from the road?  Good eye.  How much?

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.

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?  

[aspbear1]

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....
