Wow Leonard that is a nice clock. I like the hands and the green neon on the black face looks great.

Thanks Guys !!
I went to the auction because there was a Calaiver 72 & a Westining House BV-56 .Pluse a few small candy machines . Did'nt get any of them .I talked to the Owner of all the stuff at the auction .He said that there was small holes around the back & side of The 72 before he ONLY sanded & filled then & Repainted the out side .Nothing done on the Inside & Compressure not working $750,00 (Did'nt need another majior project)
The Big suprize was $650.00 For the BV-56 (Ugly Machine ) It was also Only Painted on the outside The inside was a mess.( although it appeard complet )
The auction was 2 days I only went on Saturday .Sunday there were a Bunch & Pile of Hit & Miss engines being auctioned .

Hit & miss/fly wheel engines...?
I've always wanted one of the small versions but never wanted to pay what some people where asking... Seemed a little expensive for me at times, but I think they're pretty neat!
Do you recall any prices for the engines...?

Hi, Jim
They Did auction a couple made by Maytag (Maked in casting ) the day I was there (Saturday ) I think I heard 150 - 200 range ?? But not for sure , I looked at them
Weird looking engines with pulleys or flywheels I guess .The only Engines I know are V-8s.More POWER !!!!!!!!
Sorry ..

Awesome clock and the price was right. Hard to believe that a BV56 went for 650.00
