Dual Pendulum Seiko

[billjustbill]

I found this shelf clock for $2. It's made by Seiko. The I.D. tag under the base list the model number: QPW150G It stands 11-1/2" tall and is about 8" wide.

It runs on a Double A battery in the clockworks and another one under the base that drives the magnetic field for the pendulum.

It's basically all plastic, but I can't find anything about this Seiko model which makes me wonder about its production numbers.

Forgive the Hot Pink background...and the slanted angle of the pics. They were made quickly and bending down to a floor level fireplace hearth, and I used some of my poster board for our future garage sale... Which, by the way, seems to help bring in a lot of people. I've learned that when I put out signs for our biannual garage sales, if you use one color and one style of lettering on all the signs, garage sale buyers like following them and help drivers more easily get to our sale...

Any help on the clock is always appreciated,

Bill

cool clock and you're right about signs. I like large lettering on the signs so I don't have to stop to read them.

All I can come up with is this, which lists that number as the clock movement-

1980's stuff. I remodeled the house of all that around 1990. The era of brass and Tony Montana was over.

I had to stop to read this one. I noticed it from half a block away. The hand shading could not be seen untill I got to the intersection. I zoomed in real good to get this close up.

So was the sale to the dark side it the white? If my dad were with me he would throw that one in the ditch!

A couple of months ago, a woman wrote in to Heloise with a tips for successful garages sales. One tip was, "Make sure the lettering on your signs is at least 1/2 inch high!"

Thanks, lady.
