You want a new clock, don’t you?
10 day auction just started. Not only does it tell time, it will alert you if a TARDIS has entered your spacetime locale. Protect yourself.

sale will be converted to linden dollars and fed to the city hall RFL kiosk.
Ah, alas I can’t bid.
I had trouble with getting the shipping options to do what I wanted, so looks like it won’t work across the pond. also, mahogany can create horrible issues at customs in some countries. here is the text of the description if you can read it:
Protect your future… and your past! The Steamweaver Company Temporal Disturbance Dectector will tell you whenever troublesome time traveling know-it-alls on holiday have arrived in your neighborhood, so you can take action BEFORE they meddle with your timeline. Upper tubes glow pleasantly and clock chimes an alert when disturbances are detected. Accept no imitations, this is a genuine temporal disturbance detector!
This one of a kind clock was remade by Mosseveno Tenk and is being sold to raise funds for the New Babbage RFL team in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. All proceeds will go to the charity.
Quartz replacement movement operates on one AA battery. Body is refinished mahogany and bird’s eye maple inlay with salvaged brass from genuinely broken, non-valuable movements.
May I enquire what is problematic about mahogany? Infestations? Disease? Politics?
it is listed on the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Flaura and Fauna. i’ve heard of clock dealers having trouble getting old mahogany cases over the border.
The international import and export of wood sure does have its troubles.
Just ask Gibson guitars.

My age catches up. It was quite plentiful an desired in shop class in my distant youth.
And a particularly fragrent material as well!
Hit a hiccup… the listing has been removed and my account restricted. I believe it is becuase the current bid is higher than the limits available to new accounts. Am investigating.
All fixed, after lots of telephone time. Relisted and back at 99 cents.
