So some poor fool paid $3500 for it. Looks like making fake Edison or Victor dials for $300 clocks is worth the effort. Ray
Yes Ray, I saw that. I had sent him several questions about the "provenance" of the clock, was the dial painted, etc. Needless to say, he never replied to me. That and coupled with the fact that he hid the bidder's IDs tells me he was aware of the clock's dubious authenticity. I remember a non-collector friend asking me why I spent so much on books pertaining to the areas I collected. I said to him, "If you think knowledge is expensive, try ignorance when you find that the item you bought is junk."

That clock is one of the worst cases I've ever seen. I hope the buyer has some recourse when buyer's remorse sets in. Bruce
