Curt,
That is certinaly prime material for the "most uglyest fake" thread in the Association Members only forum. For that matter, Homer could take that ridiculous clock and post it also.

i too have been to these auctions and have found the same..lead fakes etc.. but you should have seen the people buy up lead garbage at $90.00 a crack.the best was the fake '36 olympic badge placed on a period pill box and laballed as an ss suicide pill box.blank stares greeted me when i asked just exactly HOW they came up with that one. a couple of real things,i waited all day for..sports badge,russian front and a beat but original normandy camo helmet.i had to really look at that one ,but took a chance, as the items to look for were there in abundance

The clock would be a good combo with the SS TK Radio. The first (and only) SS TK Clock-Radio.

More Ebay Fake Clock SS










The Germans were very good at designing and would not have crooked stamps, numerous markings etc. These clocks are trying too hard to look worn and have too many emblems. A presentation clock to an officer would not look like carnival junk.

Also I have a USN Navy clock doctors from WWI and WWII and the silver did not tarnish like these.

One last note is clock makers and repair shops do not take out original movements and stick in new movements. A clock has more value with a broken movement not running than replacement movement.

ss suicide pill clocks..hahahahahahaha!

these guys from Niagara region are killing me..... where on earth do they get this crap! a year later and more and more (and more!..)
just keeps coming down the pipe!

they probably hate me by now,i tell everyone that attends and looks at them that they are fake..god,after viewing some of these things over and over,I need a cyanide pill!

[Aitor Iriarte]

Gosh!!
I collect clocks (not military ones) and those figural ones are the ugliest crap I've ever seen in my whole life!!
Yes, I need to take some cyanure pills with methilic alcohol to get over that vision...
Stamp a big swastica and SS runes over a piece of s--t and dozens of idiots will quarrel to buy it!
