And...….she dropped it.

We are not on speaking terms at the moment.

    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.

    living room your new id would be Paradiselost. :D

    Where are you hiding the matching clock with the coins from the western US? 😀

    1. You KNOW it's YOUR fault. If you had kept it clean yourself this would have never happened.

    Thank your wife for saving you from yourself. Close second for the singing bass plaque from years ago🙂

    A little duck tape will fix it up as good as new.

    I do as a matter of fact.
    It's part of a set that matches my mood ring.
    When I'm not wearing it, I keep it right next to my lava lamp.

    Looks like an easy repair....Glad to hear it did not cause a marital crisis... :D Actually, a nice clock for a collector's man cave though.... ;) Cheers, RickO

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

    This would not be the first time that a wife "accidentally" broke the husband's prized knick-knack. :*

  • OnastoneOnastone Posts: 4,153 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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!

  • 3stars3stars Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.
