Title: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: Ken R on September 02, 2011, 10:12:48 pm What do you guys think of this old clock?
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: dr galaga on September 02, 2011, 10:56:58 pm Looks pretty cool, but kind of strange that is doesn't have a brand on it!
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: cokecolaman on September 02, 2011, 10:57:43 pm I'd snatch it up if it was reasonable $$$
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: Ken R on September 02, 2011, 11:01:58 pm Haha, help me out here, what would be considered "reasonable?" If it's worth $5, I don't want to pay $20, but if it's worth $500, I might pay $100 for it.
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: cokecolaman on September 02, 2011, 11:35:08 pm I think it's worth $75, but I'm just guessing...I would give a little more just because I have never seen one before.
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: Ken R on September 03, 2011, 12:02:56 am Cool, thanks.
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: halehouse on September 03, 2011, 08:17:03 am My initial thought is that it is new. It looks like something retro that you would buy at a place like World Market and for some reason has some rust on the bottom. I don't see a cord either, I bet it is battery operated. Can you check on that? I'm gonna say $5 to hang in the garage.
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: loman4ec on September 03, 2011, 08:58:13 am Yep and if its old it has had new hands put on it. thise are most definitely repop hands. If it was real it would have pam style hands.
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: Kilroy on September 03, 2011, 09:18:13 am I'm thinking new also. No slit or trough for the power cord, no brand name, hands seem out of place.
Nice piece as long as you know it's new and not paying more than $30. Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: Eric on September 03, 2011, 10:18:40 am My vote is a new fantasy piece.. like the others said no area for a cord to come through and
main flag “No Brand” ... example... there are little six pack Sunny Cola? or something like that out there now with paper label bottles and rusty carriers and some signs for this same fantasy brand with rust that are brand new imported stuff... Though cool looking I'd pass unless you really like it and it's around $25 or less.. just too much stuff still out there you can find and get for a good price. Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: Ken R on September 03, 2011, 11:00:14 am Cool. All very good points to know from those with experience. Greatly appreciated!!!
Title: Re: Old Root Beer Clock Post by: rayg on September 03, 2011, 11:41:04 am looks like it was made from a coke, pepsi ..etc cap, probably one in rough shape, so they did a repair job
I agree $25 or less |
