Dollar Store Maritime Buy....










I was driving around Ballard (Seattle) the other day in search of a dollar store to get some black plastic document frames - I came across this piece of work (see pics) amongst the cheap radios, RC cars, watches, and other stuff -in the big glass case at the "99 Cent Store" on Greenwood. The clerk removed - what I thought was a Chinese knock-off copy of a NIB Weems and Plath brass ship's bell clock which - turned out to be the real thing (complete with German-made clock movement and solid brass case)....when I asked the price...she said...$19.99. Sold..... US retail price $375.00 - Can you say eBay flip?
