This is an adorable little white metal mechanical windup alarm clock made by Westclox in the 1960s. This is the "Good Morning" model and it features a circular simple design that has fantastic retro appeal. It is in excellent condition with a nice clean face. The white paint on the metal is in good condition with very minimal wear. The clock stands approximately 5 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide.
Show report from the May, 1965 "International Photo Exposition." Some notable new items include the Yashica Lynx 14, a new TTL-metering Voigtländer, a new style of Praktica, and an electric Pen.
Also appearing is the ill-fated Fotochrome.
Take a fanciful flight with this elegant WINDUP BIRD necklace by 19 Moons. A humming bird nestled into an antique BULOVA 17 ruby watch movement. This is set on silver and brass filigree and brass beaded drop. On the reverse side is a vintage watch dial with a tiny topaz Swarovski crystal at it's middle (A jewel in the heart of time!) The pendant hangs from a matching delicate textured brass chain, finished with a spring clasp. Totally captivating and unique! Keep this WINDUP bird next to your heart as a reminder of precious time.

(SOLD- I will make one more similar to this)
They were made without any feelings.
so they chased the human beings,
and they thought that if they caught them,
they could take their hearts,
and feel things.
Multi-exposure stack of Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann pitching out of the windup. I believe this was a slider in the dirt.
Pentax K-30, SMC-A 200mm f/4, images stacked in the GIMP. This is something I wish I could do with a tripod, though. The lens/camera moved during this sequence, so the position of his foot relative to the ground looks a bit weird.
Marx wind-up train set from local thrift store - had a picture of the PO with dates 1947-1955. Gives it some character and provenance
Will run in the office over the season.
an angel that flaps it's wings when wound up... it also glows in the dark, which makes it surprisingly difficult to photograph :-) hear this sound here: freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=19370
Providence Gray's Vintage Base Ball
_____________________
Vintage base ball ( and yes it's base ball, not 'baseball') is played throughout the summer season by the Providence Gray's and other vintage teams.
These players go out there and play with rules of the game ranging from the 1850's to 1898. These guys play in 90+ degree heat covered head-to-toe in era specific garb. All of the equipment is of the era, including the fact no players, other than the catcher, use gloves or protective gear. The umpire even cleans off home base with his bare hand!
Can you imagine catching a line dive with your bare fist?, I sure don't want to.
Vintage base ball rules range depending on the era, but a few of the things that stood out to me at this game were:
- The batter was able to call their own strike zone.
- It took 6 balls to gain a walk, instead of the current day 4 balls.
- The pitcher just threw, no warning no waiting.
- The bats, uniforms and equipment (or lack thereof) were era specific.
- Socks were an important part of the 19th century base ball uniform. Up through the mid-1880's most teams had white pants and jerseys (there were, of course, many exceptions). The identifying colors came from stripes on the hat, a wide belt, and the socks.
And many MANY more.
If you're in Providence, Ri and find yourself with some free time you should check these guys out. Definitely well worth it.
Wind these little guys up and they trundle forth menacingly, spewing sparks from their fiery mouths. Very intimidating! : )
