I’ve been needing a passion for a while; something to really get into. I love taking photos, but it wasn’t filling the void. I’m hoping my next project will do so - I’m wanting to collect antique clocks.
What got me into it? Daddio. (Thanks, Hove!) I have very fond memories as a kid traveling to Rocky Ford, Colorado - a six hour jaunt, mind you - to get none other than the best canteloupe around and a Regulator or two. My dad collected clocks for a while - I think we had about ten antique clocks in our house for the longest time. There are many really pretty clocks, but I want my first to be a Seth Thomas. I’m currently the high bidder on a gorgeous Seth Thomas Regulator wall clock, circa 1880. It’s in gorgeous condition. I’ve got about nineteen hours left on this auction, so cross your fingers for me! Know any good books about antique clocks? I’ve been picking around Amazon, but haven’t come up with a definite decision. Should you have any suggestions, I’m all ears.
