    The two latest not-really-Elgin clocks.

    They're little, they're cute, they're cheap.

    The one on the right arrived Thursday and required oil before it would run right. The one on the left showed up today and started up immediately. Next week I'll pull it open and oil it so it's good for the next 55 or so years.

    I now have five of these and none are truly identical.

    Two small "Elgin"-branded travel alarm clocks. Not Elgins, just branded. Made in West Germany around 1970 or so.
