My cheap 99 deal on ebay

Post by River Rat » Mon Jun 29, 2015 10:32 am

I picked this up off ebay a Ships radio room clock made by wempe for 99 bucks. The colored marks on the dial for radio silence for listening for SOS calls. Also got a radio room name plate from a door from a ship off ebay figured it would look cool on the wooden plaque I made up for the clock. It's now the shop clock above my work bench in the garage.

That's really cool!

I've looking for a mechanical clock for my office desk, or at least a pocket watch with a stand.

Enjoy it!
