Cuckoo for Clocks

If you have ever visited my blog before, you know how much I love clocks!  When two boxes of clocks came up for bid at the auction Saturday....what would I do with more clocks,,,,where can I put them???  Well, you all know what I did....bid my little heart out!  I finally wore all the other bidders out, gave one the stink eye, and got my clocks!    $25 for all !

I think they are all beautiful in their own unique way...

Most of them probably will never work...

But there was lots of extra parts in the boxes....we'll see what H can do...he can fix anything!

They all need a good cleaning, so I unloaded them on the kitchen island....

some of them will get painted white , I'm sure!

some of them will be just cleaned....look at all the dirt on this beauty! 

Very dusty!

I think that I love the inside works as much as the outside....

This is the only wind up clock...

Our piano is decorated with clocks for spring..........springs, time, clocks...get it???
WELLL,   I'd better get busy cleaning!


Til next time...

  4. you have to do what ever it takes to win what you want at an auction

    that little clock with the hummel children I bought at K-mart back in the 80's and sold it at a yard sale for $5.00 in the 2000's sometime when I did a clean house sale

  7. I would have bought that box also. I LOVE clocks. At least one in every room...but more than likely...more!

  9. I love clocks, too. What a find- a box of clocks. For some reason that made me think of one of my son's early girlfriends. We called her a box of rocks. She was a tad ditzy and dense but cute as a button- lol Can't wait to see what you do with that haul! xo Diana

  11. Oh my gosh. That's a LOT of clocks. Great deal. We had a cuckoo clock when I was growing up and I loved it. Your post made me think of it. Susan

  12. I like cuckoo clocks too. Yours are great! My grandma always had a whimsical looking one in her TV room and unfortunately no one knows where it went. =(

  15. The one with the boy holding flags is a Boy Scout clock. One sold for $450!!! In your condition, yours is probably worth $150-250

  16. I am SO in love with clocks myself, that's what attracted me to your post in the first place. You have my dream clock to the right of your piano. You got an AMAZING deal on your auction win!! Someday I'll have to share all my faves. Thanks for lettin' us see your beautiful collection ;)

  17. Oh I too love clocks, but don't paint that wonderful timber carved clock white! Just give it a good clean. It is wonderful in its natural state, that is after all, how you find them in the black forest in Germany.

  18. Congratulations on your auction win - these are fantastic - love the detail! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
