Edison Phonograph clock
I just came across this on craigslist. The price seems steep to me ($1450) but was wondering if some of you collectors have other unusual advertisement pieces such as this, and of course your thoughts on a reasonable price would be of interest to me. http://cnj.craigslist.org/atq/4610524697.html

In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so?

I'd be wary of this. The clock itself looks old, but the decals and lettering scream new. I wouldn't take a chance with it.

Re: Edison Phonograph clock
Harvey, I'm with you... you can't trust that it's real. In fact, I made an Edison clock face last year, but it was sold as a reproduction dial.

Yes it looked to good to be original. He has dropped his asking price to $1250. Maybe if he takes the fourth digit of I'll bite. Thanks for the input.
