A couple weeks ago I found my first style 6 Big Ben that unfortunately was not in working order. Today I was out and found another style 6 that works perfectly! My wife and I shared a laugh as we heard it ticking for the first time. I also came across my first Moonbeam! The light doesn’t work but the clock itself does.
My wife and I were out and about today and I came home with 3 new clocks for my collection. The Travelalarm and the Style 7 work while the style 6 does not. The Travelalarm and the Style 6 are the first of each for my collection. I already have two style 7s but this the first one with a black case.
Mr. Hyde (10 weeks old) activated his Chihuahua ears for the first time yesterday! My wife cried, convinced that his puppy stage was over. Today they are back to floppy, however, and my wife is back to not crying. For now. 😁
While our black cat, Binx, likes to chase around and be chased by our new chihuahua sometimes he just wants a little peace.
Meet Hyde our newest addition! We lost our last chihuahua this past April and had no plans to get another one so soon after but fate has ways of changing things. He’s only 6 weeks old. The cats are definitely not sure about him just yet.
I purchased this full page ad a few months ago and I finally decided to buy a frame for it.
I found this Westclox stopwatch while out and about today. Still in the original box with the instructions.
My wife and I were out and about today and I came upon this Elgin for only $95! I know it’s not the highest quality Elgin but I couldn’t pass it up. It works beautifully too for being 115 years old.
Picked up my first radium compass. There’s not much left of the glow but it’s still spicy.
I found the Big Ben brother to my Baby Ben. It’s got a great glow to it too. I have a few more to match up and look forward to the hunt.
I found a Big Brother to go with one of my Baby Bens. One set complete.
I picked up this 1895 Hamilton Grade 930 today for a great price. I still can't believe it's mine!

Baby Ben Style 8 Repeater from 1971-1975. I confirmed it was radium but before I could grab a picture of the reading my Geiger counter died. Gotta find that new battery that’s around here some where.
I found this Baby Ben Style 8 Repeater today. The fluorescence.is great! Just gotta find a spot on the shelf for it. I think I need a bigger shelf.
I picked up this America clock over the weekend. It’s still in working order too. Not bad for $60!
My wife and I were out shopping today and I picked up this Jack o’ Lantern as a birthday present! It works too!
