Wow - I'm pretty sure I might own that actual green 700 on the top shelf! I bought it from an LA seller and it has a bar coded catalogue label on the back stating "20th century Props" etc. This made me think it was from a studio prop collection... It has the yellow dial (I've been told most green 700's had white dials so that makes it at least somewhat unique if true) plus it is missing all trim pieces - even both the thin upright side pieces which are "never" missing. The 6 is badly faded and the hour and minute hands hands are in exactly the same position as per the still shot from the movie. I bet the second hand is bang on the 11 o'clock position too like mine.  Gonna have to get that movie out now!

I'm sure most of you will recall having seen it before....  :-*

Yep - that has to be it. It's the alarm set time that at the 11 position and the minute hand is missing now that I look closer. I'm sure I have that very clock sitting here on my shelves in tropical north Queensland...

I asked the question of the seller and he has confirmed that my clock came from the 20th Century Props Auction and that they supplied those clocks as a set props for the Post Grad movie.  Indeed it is the very same clock....

Very sad story behind the demise of 20th Centuary Props though.  Heartbreaking for Harvey.

The Man Who Wasn't There - 2001 black-and-white film noir by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, Billy Bob Thornton is Ed Crane.

Here's the Metal Octagonal in white...

Odd movie... but good... well made...

(the Coen's probably used the same clock used in OBWAT..but painted..)

Yes Sir - 100% correct Mr OTF. The green one only however. That makes the 700 count 32B, 6I, 2G....

So what's the goal?  100?  1000?  You know what's good?  beanie babies.
