Have you ever thought about clock collecting as a hobby? When I first started with a couple old clocks left to me by a family member, I didn’t even know this hobby existed. But, there are thousands of clock collectors worldwide that own every type of clock imaginable. Clocks are not only enjoyable to collect, but you are also preserving a history that would certainly be lost if not for this great hobby. In recent years, I have noticed that collecting in general, as a hobby, has been growing by leaps and bounds. Today it seems that there are people collecting just about everything. Most collections start out modestly, and build slowly over time as the collector becomes more knowledgeable about his (or her) particular items of interest. After a while, sometimes without even realizing it, they have a valuable and enjoyable hobby.
Whatever you decide to collect, dolls, pez dispensers, Hummels, model railroads, or clocks, a lot of the same rules apply. One of these universal rules is that the more common items, or those in poor condition will be much easier to find than the ‘good find’ we are looking for. That’s not to say you won’t be lucky and find the perfect clock in the first place you look. It’s a numbers game and eventually you'll stumble on a good deal.
