    Hi Scout, wow, I absolutely love that clock. I like the detail of the lamp in it so you can set the brightness very low so that you can see it in the dark but it doesn’t keep you awake unlike today’s digital clocks that seem to light up half the bloody suburb. It suddenly occurred to me why you get so many great pieces of really old stuff at your flea markets in the US. I think it has a lot to do with the way houses are built over there because it’s pretty normal for homes to have both a basement and an attic which means stuff can sit undisturbed for decades whereas in Australia most homes are single story with a low roof angle no basement or attic so we mainly get stuff that’s been stored in sheds with less than ideal conditions. As for the painting, hmmmmmmm.😂 Cheers mate, Stuart.

      Stuart- I think you are right- Here older homes had attics filled with great stuff! 😃👍

    You never cease to amaze me, John. I, too have a fondness for old Telecron clocks. Your Model 711 was introduced in 1931 and discontinued in 1936 during the height of the Art Deco Movement. It is surprising how many of them are still running as well as they did when new. Lighted models are somewhat rare and sought after. Many of the General Electric clocks from this period were also made by Telecron. General Electric had a somewhat unusual partnership with Telecron and used their clock movements to a great degree prior to WWII. The porch light fixture will look great on the front of your house. Good score on that one.

    Hi John. The clown painting is ... interesting! I'm with you, I can't stand ticking clocks. I find the mechanisms fascinating and have repaired them and even pocket watches but the ticking drives me nuts - to me it's like the Chinese water torture. Beautiful Telechron clock - thanks for sharing it with us.

  • @rawbacon
    @rawbacon 14 дней назад +4

    The ticking is a reminder that you're not asleep but you know you have to get up in a few hours and go to work..........The ticking is maddening when you can't sleep...........I actually like the Clown but the background he used I find distracting and seems to take away...Then again in a dark stairway it might create the perfect effect but maybe a frame would make it all work better, yes I think the right frame could make all the difference.

    Great video 👍 Fantastic video from Elephant Trunk👍. Thought for sure you would come home 🏡 with the stamp machine or that GE Vintage Battery 🔋 Charger 🔌 😄👍. Those 🥮 pastries 🥐
    L👀ked Delicious 😋👍. It also looked like everyone was having a great time there. Those 🚨 emergency light fixtures will be great to see on the show. Great price for that porch Lamp 💡. That too would be a great project for the show 👍. That GE Telechron electric ⚡️ clock 🕰 you got cleaned up beautifully,Fantastic job 👍! That was a great feature they had back then to let people know if the power went out that 🔴red dot on the face would warn you that the time you see isn’t correct . It looked like Tub O Towels for the win🔥👍, they are pretty Awesome! Again I think the clock 🕰 turned out Fantastic,loved how that Chrome finish shines and to see that vintage clock working and back in service 👍! Hope you can find the light bulb 💡 for it. Pretty interesting painting 🤡 🖼. I wonder what the animals and the cats 🐈‍⬛ would thought if you had that animated Mr. Frankenstein 🧟‍♂️on your front porch 🏡 plugged in? It is cool. Home Depot always has great holiday displays 👍. Great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Monday. Have a great evening and fantastic weekend! 😃👍👍

    OK, Scout, no more tools, you've moved on to lamps. The BEST prof I had was a guy who retired to academia after a full career in industry. He was so old he had worked on the original GE traction motors. He came in one day with a shaded pole GE clock motor. He said what really pissed him off was that while they had the stock number listed, GE no longer offered a replacement motor . . . after keeping spot on time for 70 years, he had to buy a new kitchen clock in its entirety for want of a motor!

    John, That clock is so cool! Love it. People either love clowns or hate em its a 50/50 deal. Art is an individual thing to me, what I like no one else does so thats how I deal with it, If I like it thats all that matters. You might have one done by him. Artists are known to re-paint stuff so they can buy some ham n eggs to survive.........Have it looked at,its on canvas so somebody did a great job copying it.

    Love that electric clock. Very smart features; and I've never minded a ticking clock, it reminds me of being at my grandma's house which puts me at ease... my uncle also had a big grandfather clock and those are also very comforting to me despite the loud chimes.

    • @ScoutCrafter
      @ScoutCrafter  14 дней назад

      My mother had 10 clocks in our home growing up, every hour they would all go off and after a while you didn’t really hear them. When I started working and had to get up early and sometimes had to go to bed when I wasn’t really tired that ticking would drive me nuts.. 😂😂😂

    What a beautiful clock.. it reminded me of one i had as a kid... I found it in the trash 🗑️... It had paint splatter on it, but I didn't care.. it was my first clock and it was mine... I had it for many years and one day it was gone.. i don't think I've ever thought of that clock until seeing this video... My mother must have tossed it out when I went in service.. i don't know who got rid of more of my things, my mother or my ex-wife... S.C. Thx for the pleasant memories... Take care my friend and God Bless....

Theres a lot of it and something for everyone. Like that horse at the beginning of your footage next to the mr machine. Im not particularly equine inclined but i really like those horse ornaments because we had one when i was a kid. And my auntie had turners hay wane on her wall. That the image i like even though some may consider it pedestrian.

    I did not know about Bernard Buffet. Tete does look sad.
    This reminded me of another French artist, Boris O'Klein who made a lot of dog related prints and watercolours. We have "Wait Your Turn" where the dogs are lined up to pee on a small tree. The print has hand written in pencil the French title "Chacun son tour". My wives father purchased this when he was stationed in France in the mid 60's.

    Art can be used as a tool for many purposes, including:
    Social change: Art can be a catalyst for social change, awareness, and action. For example, public art can counter a history of invisibility and shape public sentiment.
    Communication: Art can be a way to communicate feelings, ideas, and arguments to an audience without using words. Viewers are asked to interpret meaning from imagery by relating symbols and other abstract connections.
    Education: Art can be used to teach communication and other skills.
    Healing: Art can have healing properties.
    Science: Artistic techniques can be used to visualize, understand, and disseminate the results of scientific research.
    Entertainment: Art can entertain people.
    Introspection: Art can take people from the everyday to a place of introspection and contemplation.

    John, I am happy you found the beauty in the artwork. It is "striking". I hope it continues to bring you joy. Nice job with the Telechron Art Deco Clock! Very familiar with Henry Warren, he is our hometown hero here in Ashland, MA where Telechron employed many locals from the 1926 to 1993 when the company was sold like so many others taking their many technologies and the manufacturing overseas. I'm sure you can guess where. You have piqued my interest; I need to get a Telechron I can rescue too! Be well!
