Hi Dave, I had not responded to the Ingraham "Treasure" post because that clock was also listed on eBay. On Collectors Weekly they said they inherited it but on eBay they said they picked it up in an estate sale. Listing anything for sale is against the rules here and they obviously knew that, they just wanted free info they could trade on.
You have to watch out for "visitors" like that.
Bruce99,
Thanks for the heads up. I will be more careful next time.
Dave
You have a great collection and it's good to have you on board Dave! There are a lot of collectors and folks who have inherited items, like collectible clocks, who are looking for help here. I think that it's fun to help them.
Best regards,
Bruce
That is a BEAUTIFUL Car Clock. I DO love your collection.
