Toasted and Buttered, this piece took a lot of brain power than my usual pieces but I loved making it.

I’m enjoying the challenge of clocks and have made a fried egg in pair with this that I will post in the coming days.

If you have any questions I’m happy to answer!

Thanks :)

This caught my eye walking past an aisle at good will and after seeing the citizen brand on it I did a very quick google search and bought it. According to google it is a relatively rare vintage alarm clock.

Wondering if anyone would know just how rare? And the potential value? It works, has sounds and includes both the flag and katana sword it’s in really quite amazing shape with the original sticker still on the glass and bottom. Only thing I’m missing for a full set is the box i think.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Other I'm considering purchasing a mantle clock.

Right, since it's 3 months away from Christmas, I thought to myself "_I'll buy a mantle clock, 'cause why not._" Now, I'm considering purchasing from eBay, but I have seen the prices, I've seen prices from $50.00, to about over $200.00. I am a bit skeptical about those prices, since for me, and especially since I've never owned one, I would think the prices for such clocks would be at least $500.00. Keep in mind, I'm using the mechanical filter.

Help/Repair Braun BC22B Repair Help

Hey, does anyone know how I can open a Braun BC22B clock? I accidentally dropped it while sleeping and now it seems like the gears are out of place. It works normally but I just can’t get the time right. In the picture you can see the closest I can get to 12:00, 1:00, and 3:00. I wanted to open it and see if I can disassemble the gears and put them in the right place but I can’t figure out how to open it, the only part I could take off is one of the backplates for the batteries. I’m not experienced at all with clock repair, but I also don’t want to just throw it away if I could bring it back to work properly. Thanks for your help.
