That's the down side to ebay. I almost bid on it, but my friend said he had a 4 spring Credenza motor. That made me wonder, so I asked the board, and found out it should have 4 springs. People are probably misled by the uneducated or those who are just trying to rip you off on eBay all the

I got the pictures but they are of the known advertisements in sessions clocks. As I said the clock is certainly old and original, but common and not very valuable. It is the glass in the lower section that would add the value. I remember a very similar clock on ebay a while back with an

This Edison is definitely a fake. There was a regulator clock on sometime back that had Edison advertising on it as well. This Victor clock on now even if a fake is still kinda neat. Especially for us Victor people but we still have to be smart about purchases. - Original Message

I don't think any of us can tell from the pictures if the advertising is authentic. The quality isn't that good. For a clock collector, the clock is worth about what the current bid is. Several clock parts suppliers make advertising decals for these clocks. Without examining the clock

This was also discussed on the other phonograph list. It's the horn from an early Magnavox public address system (not a radio horn, although they're very similar) which has had the paint stripped from the bell. It's considerably heavier than an Edison horn. Eric Stott - Original
