Hi Tom,
That is a real neat collection of clocks, and nicely captured. The contrast of a battery powered digital clock to old wind ups is quite interesting.

Thanks hh, this represents about 1/2 of my "tuna can" alarm clocks. The clocks L to R: Cruso by Hibbard, Spencer, and Bartlett Hardware Co. Cruso was one of H.S.B.'s many brand names the most recognized today is True Value. Time and Tide by Belknap Hardware Company of Louisville Ky best known for their Blue Grass brand of hardware. OVB (Our Very Best) was H.S.B.'s top quality brand. The black faced clock is Good Night by Shapleigh Hardware Co. of St. Louis. Last is Oak Leaf brand by William Enders who distributed exclusively through Simmons Hardware Co. of St. Louis. Enders is best known for his early safety razor patents, Enders branded razors and tools are still available. All of those clocks date between 1920 and 1940.
Yep, this is another great image, Tom, my friend! Do you realize that once all clocks are digital, expressions like 'clockwise,' 'counter-clockwise,' and 'hands of time' will no longer have meaning to new generations? (Just a thought.)
Love your composition, and the juxtaposition of new vs old. Just an excellent take on the WA.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Sorry I haven't been as diligent as I would like at commenting the last couple of weeks. And yes Philly I do consider the rapidity of change in technology and I think it is part of my interest in older technology. Thank You!
Thank you for your comment.
