Have you seen this old school Bama clock?

[ROLLTRIBE]

My daughter bought this for me at a yard sale about ten years ago. I have no idea how old it is but would guess it was made in the early 70's. Anybody ever see one or have any info about it? Pretty mean looking elephant, huh? :rolleye2:

I can't understand why y'all can't see the clock. I used to have one just like it, but mine wasn't in as good of a shape.

For real, you can't see it?..hmmmm. I'll try again.

How about now??

Nope - you need to host it on something like imageshack.com then post it here.

I'll give you $5 for it, sight unseen!

There it is! It looks like something from the '60s. I can't put my finger on why, but I think it predates my student days in the '70s.

No Arkansas and no South Carolina. Very nice memorabilia.

No Arkansas and no South Carolina. Very nice memorabilia.

...and no Georgia Tech, hence must date to between 1964 and 1991. Best guess would be 1974, based on the jersey number of the basketball player in the cartoon in the upper lefthand corner of the clock face, since it looks like it might be 74 which is not a legal jersey number for basketball.

The SEC logo at the bottom seems to be around late 60s...but not 100%.

I had one just like it. Runs off a battery. I got it when I was a kid, had to be early 70's. Took it with me to Tuscaloosa, then brought it to Florida with me after graduation, probably trashed it 15 years ago or so. Kinda wish I still had it, but I 've got enough old stuff laying around that I keep saying "one day" with.

Edit: I see you're in Florida. Wouldn't it be something if that was my old clock? Doesn't have a dent on the face of it, does it?

I find the order of the schools on the SEC banner and the clock interesting. I can understand Bama being #1 with 10rc and vandy #10 and 11 because it would be alphabetical order. But oh miss #2 and the barn #9? just seems a little odd.

Anyone know a reason for this?

What the heck is that thing at 8 o'clock?

Looks like the Tom and Jerry version of the Kentucky Wildcat

Dont think so, but will take a closer look this evening.

Looks to me like a cat on crack :eek2: but is supposed to be a Kentucky Wildcat. The Tennesse guy is wierd to. Looks like a creepy marching band member :conf2:
