    Jealousy will get you nowhere but lucky for you there may be a scratch and dent sale on it.
    Just in time for Christmas.

    It is actually so hideous that it almost comes back around to being cool. I said almost.

    Looks like you might have a buyer/taker there @sparky64 -- or at least "a better place". With any luck she'll cover shipping if nothing else! It's a win-win-win for both you and your wife and PF!

    Might even get you some...

    You just have to change your way of thinking. 6 O'clock is now technically 6:30... and yes, this is post mint damage.

    When I'm not wearing it, I keep it right next to my lava lamp.

    Got this in the early 70s IIRC. Looks like if you remove your wood trim, you should be able to effect repairs.

    You're going to have to go to a craft store and buy a clock kit, make your own coin clock with really nice coins! Maybe use some mercury dimes and some morgans.....just an idea!

    You could do a new clock with coins dated 1901-1912 with each year as the hour. 1801-1812 if you like a challenge...

    Or one with state quarters - Delaware is one o'clock, PA 2 o'clock, etc.
