Great find there DNO!
Here's my weekends finds all time related;
this was the Smiths electric clock as found looking rather rough;
I managed quite easily to clean the chrome up and the wood brushed up nice , the electric movement is however kaput and all the screws on the back well rusted in..... I plan to repaint the inner dial, re finish the wood and install a quartz movement ...I know I could possibly get an original movement but that would mean stripping one out of an existing clock and anyway the clock cost £1 so nothing to lose really.
The two leather wrist straps are for small fob/pocket watches to enable them to be worn on the wrist, cost again £1 each and lastly the Rotary ladies watch is in excellent condition and a really good timekeeper though I had to push the boat out to a whole £3!
Dust it. Clean it. Lube it. Flush the typing mechanism. Change the ribbon and use it, if it still works right.
Picked this up today at a collectibles show.
I would like to own every single airplane on there!
