Do you have a clock? Ours has been running for 75yrs!

 “My 1st year in JLMC [Junior League of Monmouth County] we had an auction at Bingham Hall as our fundraiser. I was very excited to get rid of my new husband's ugly "things" and ran home to start packing. The ugliest of all was this broken down German clock that he got in the army and it had never worked. He worked on Wall Street and always came home late. I was on the stage holding the clock up while the bidding was going on and in he comes in EARLY and screams, "HEY, THAT’S MY CLOCK”! Well, he had to bid for it to get it back, and we still have it. He didn't speak to me for 3 days. It would have been worth it if the clock was gone.”
