Antique Clock Cases Incoming....

and outgoing soon, I hope I pray I wish.....
Ron just brought these back fresh from an attic in Gold Country, California,  the square ones are 1850's, rosewood veneer, various states of dirt, disrepair, coolness.....oh!....the possibilities!  Curio cases, theatres, little places for birdnest or tiny teacup collections...I bet Madame Talbot could think of something to do with these.  I've got to get them cleaned up and outta here....or they'll end up in my studio AND we all know there's no room, no room!

Speaking of no room, I snuck around the corner to snag a pic of the master antique scrounger/collector/packrat king extraordinaire, at work in his shop....
beyond the double doors encrusted with license plates and old porcelain signs....
Here lies the evil genius at work on ...um....something.

OMG, NO!  It's another clock case!  Or is it a lamp made from a corn grinder????no, no, noooooooOOOOO!!!!

Nothing like a really good batch of junk to get him humming.....

I'll be putting these cases on the vintage sites, but if you want to ask questions or feel a need to have one or all, pop me a note!
