Title: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: jbrooks on June 23, 2014, 06:53:47 pm I am into clocks and wanted to share with everyone this 5' tall beauty.
Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: MoonDawg on June 23, 2014, 07:50:06 pm I've seen pictures of that clock but never realized they were that tall. Very nice acquisition.

Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: jbrooks on June 23, 2014, 08:08:24 pm Sadly the light fixture is missing but other than that the condition is great. Amazing that plastic that broad survived without cracking. Clock runs great, I am considering installing fluorescent lighting behind it.

Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: pinballdude on June 23, 2014, 10:13:46 pm Any "yellowing" of the white plastic? That usually comes w/age. So this was formerly a light up? Ought to get a 4 ft. shop light in it. Wonder what other sports were depicted. Great find!!
Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: jbrooks on June 24, 2014, 06:45:11 am The reason I bought it despite the missing light was the condition of the plastic. It is bright white and crack free after all these years.
Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: SIGNGUY on June 24, 2014, 08:02:15 am Yes its' amazing the nice white plastic in such good condition... especially from a bowling alley.. i'm sure that place was Marlboro Heaven?
Nice pick! Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: mznb1u on June 24, 2014, 08:31:57 am Being a big fan of Coke and a High School Bowling Coach, I love it! :happydrinkers:

Title: Re: Had To Share Today's Buy Post by: mygoose101 on June 24, 2014, 11:34:50 pm Shouldn't be a big deal to add lighting to it. Then it will really pop.
