Time marches on

A couple of my friends are doing some serious house cleaning in preparation for moving and found a bunch of old clocks hidden away. A deceased partner had collected them and it was determined that he would approve of them being up-cycled into art, so they have been gifted to me.

Another friend, upon hearing of this, thinks they should be reviewed in case there is something of real value in the lot, as she once collected clocks.

So here I will present them all and put them up for review...

 This one is battery operated, but in a pretty wicker housing.


This has real clockworks but no idea if it works at all.

 This one is pretty nearly falling apart, even if began as something of any value, the condition is so poor I can't imagine it really being something anyone would want (except someone like me.)


This says "Made specially for the Dubros Stores" on the back, real clock works inside.

This has got clockworks and chimes and reads "clock superior diamond" on the inside.


This was "Made in Korea" and says "Formac 31 Days" on the face.

 This one has real clock works and written instructions in the little cupboard. It reads "Made in Germany" on the face. Too sweet, I imagine it would remain whole when integrated into a new artwork...

 This is just a battery operated pretty box.

Finally, this just says "Smiths" on the face.
