Speaking of Pam gas/oil clocks, boy is there some questionable stuff being listed on eBay today...
Some people have no shame...
All the reproduction parts available are kind of a double edged sword.
Very nice to be able to buy them when restoring a clock. However, they also enable some of the dishonest people that want to fake items and then sell them as originals.
The actions of these sellers too some extent,is hurting the value of some of the clocks. Or, at the very least causing great concern for collectors buying online without the benefit of being able to personally examine the clock.
