This is my new late 60s plastic wind up Bulova clock. I never even look at the clocks at the thrift typically but this one caught my eye because it looks like a Mac! The price was a mere 75cents so I was't too worried if I had bought a fake...
Funny story, I had wound this up to see if it worked...I was driving and heard this strange noise...oh no something is wrong with the car!..Nope, just the dang clock ticking in the back seat!
