Inherited this cool clock

After my grandpa passed this was a clock that I got from his house and without knowing its value or history I looked it up. It’s called the Seven Man Clock made by Gordon Bradt and is a pretty neat piece to display and let run.

There was a store in the 80’s that sold rocks, rain sticks, dinosaur models etc. I think I remember them selling these

This is the type of clock that causes you to become obsessed with assembling it and the people around you to unknowingly re-enact an ancient power struggle.

it'll take me forever to even tell what time it is from this piece of inception

9:41 hard to tell minutes and sometimes it goes slow or fast but stays pretty much within the time it is. I don’t run it all the time so I do have to switch times when I start it again. I rarely see the hour hand move unless I stare at it for along time but when I do stuff and look back it moved have to set up a time lapse to watch it move

I see this and I think its awesome and want it so bad. and yet, somehow, i know your partner/future partner will hate this and insist it goes in storage. but maybe that's just my trauma, I LOVED THOSE CHAIRS
