I was watching one on ebay but could of picked it up locally from the seller.  I passed, it sold for 165, 3 bids.

Thats a late 50's pam clock.  Anything under $200 for one in good shape is a good price.  You have to be careful because they reproduce the face and people replace the original face with reproductions.  The one pictured appears to be original.

Nice, clock I been watching them too lately, I would buy it from $175 as long as it was original!

Hmm... I'd make sure the paints not chipping off the back-glass, look by the minute hand & just above the "C" in "Cola", it may be some paint loss...  :oh: 


the frames a little dulled from some corrosion, which isn't unusual for this style of clock

I used to be heavy into these clocks, but now I will NOT but one from Ebay, as there are just FAR TOO MANY fakes out there!!!
I would just stay with antique shows etc. This way I can see what Im getting.

Just my thought (as I have been burned before with getting a fake on Greed bay)

I would, for $125 you're buying what looks good .... a repop  can cost that much. but look it over good, it should be nice and heavy. Also, if you get it check if can see a date on the clock motor.
