I found a use for old scratched albums - this one I have had since Junior High School - it has a chip out of side one and several big scratches - but it make a nice clock for a music room or bedroom. This one was a request for a Stones or Grateful Dead album.

National Debt Clock, New York City
"Our national debt:
6.388.615.296.055
YOUR family share: 69.744 "
Taken on January 28, 2003.
The National Debt Clock was created by a New York real estate developer in 1989. The goal of Seymour Durst was to create awareness of the debt’s size and the speed with which it was growing. The clock was stopped in September of 2000 as government debt levels decreased because of budget surpluses. The national debt was 5,676,989,904,887. (73,733 / family.)
The clock was reactivated in 2002.

Looking north with the Burke Building on our left. The clock was a Howard model, sold by Joseph Mayer to Hardy & Co jewelers. In the 1960s when then-Hardy owner retired it was sold and moved to a farm on the peninsula. Now it's in private hands down in Olympia. Hardy opened here in 1904, but I don't think he had the clock at that time. I think it appeared a few years later.
Up ahead on the right is the Hotel Savoy, always a landmark in 2nd Avenue photographs after it opened in 1906.
If this were 1909 or 1910, the clock for Burnett Brothers would be visible up the block from Hardy.
Maybe there's something else visible to pin the date better, between 1906 and 1910?

Building at the main entrance to the Botanical Gardens, Georgetown, Guyana, erected in 1881. The clock is dedicated to George Samuel Jenman, government botanist at the time the gardens were established (around 1880) and who was largely responsible for the layout of the grounds.
"The Curator's Lodge in the Botanic Gardens is a very picturesque cottage. Mr Brummell, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Botanic Gardens, was the architect of this building which was erected in 1881. At first it served as a gatekeeper's lodge and had a board room for the meetings of the Directors. The curator's lodge has a black and gold clock on the outside of the building which was built as a memorial to George Samuel Jenman, Government Botanist and Superintendent of the gardens from 1879. The original building was the central portion of the building. At a later date a western wing was added to accommodate the gatekeeper. There is also a brass tablet on the building which was placed there in memorial to Sir John Henzon, Director of Science and Agriculture, 1905-1926.
There are plaques on the wall which were erected in honour of George Samuel Jenman and Professor Sir John Burchmore Harrison. One reads thus:
To the Memory of George Samuel Jenman, fellow of the Linnean Society, Government Botanist and Superintendent of these gardens from 1879 to 1902 to whose knowledge, skill and work the colony is indebted for the laying out of the gardens and the formation of the herbarium.
The second plaque states:
To the memory of Professor Sir John Burchmore Harrison, Director of Science and Agriculture, Government Analyst and Geologist who died on the 8th February 1926. This tablet is erected by the officers of the department of science and agriculture as a token of appreciation of his sterling ability and long and faithful service of 36 years to the colony of British Guiana.
This cottage is one of the more picturesque ones in the city of Georgetown."

A 1903 view of the Clock Tower in the centre of leicester, surrounded by new tram tracks being laid. The complex nature of the trackwork, supplied by Hadfields of Sheffield, is clearly evident. The narrow street ahead is Churchgate and one familiar name, Freeman Hardy and Willis, synonymous with boots and shoes, occupies the imposing building behind the Clock Tower..— at (National Tramway Museum).
