Do you still own a wind-up clock? I have one of these.

    Nope. I have a radio alarm clock. And the rest are digital. 

    I have two battery clocks that do not work. The cat played with the hands.   But I keep them for decor.  

    The one is actually a way to display pictures. It has family picts instead of numbers. 

    (Not mine picts but this is the clock)

    Excellent, and good to hear, I have a wind up watch, but then I am a fan of antiques.

    It may be worth something Element. The good thing about antiques is that they are not mass manufactured, sometimes handmade and often make money just by sitting in your house, plus I don't like cheap throw away items, I like something with a story, my partner has a passion for clocks and anything with an engine.  I have a few bits indoors, just things I like, and things my niece and nephews find fascinating, it shows them the evolution of craftsmanship.

    I paid $160 for it. One of the few things I have ever purchased because I wanted it. (Except some coins for my collections.) I doubt I will get rid of it.

    Clocks are great, I just love the mechanics, my partner likes to fix old things as well, so if it's broken his more likely to buy it, he recently acquired one with a broken pendulum.

    When I was in my 20's - 40's I was an antique nut.  Not now.

    I don't care about saving things and I don't care about things that just collect dust.

    Nope.  Ever since the cuckoo clocks died, I've used electric and/or battery clocks.
