Did you find that setting Clocks back around your house was a chore?  How would you like to have to do these?  So many, so high.

Now that's someone with too much time on their hands.

Well, since this is obviously a collection and not each one is actually used, I'd remove all the batteries except for one clock at eye level.

Set all the others to 6:00 and be done with it.  

(If this person actually wanted to have them all running correctly, can you imagine how much the replacement  batteries would cost for all these clocks?  Yikes!)

I wonder how one dusts all those spikey things without ripping the duster or getting it stuck.

Someone likes Art Deco Era.  My guess is most of them were electric or windup given how old they are.  I think it is a great way to display a collection.

@Imaoldhippie.  @monicakm.  It makes a rather striking display.  The theme seems to be Clocks with radiating "rays", which pulls the collection together.  Just arranging them on the wall was an art and well done.

The starburst mid-century clocks are very popular with antique dealers and retail buyers.

They are usually one of the first things to go at estate sales.

Just looked up sold listings on ebay, they sell from in the hundreds to top one was $1600 for a set of three.

@Kachina624  Very artful display but the clocks all display different times.

They would not need to be reset.

I like the star burst design the best.
