I have listed these clocks for local pick up only, but I will ship them if the buyer pays shipping. They are heavy, and I have no idea what they would cost to ship. I am selling them as a pair. They look to have all of their original parts. 

Additional info on these clocks:

A 1940s Western Union clock. These self-winding clocks were synchronized every hour to Naval Observatory Time by way of Southwestern Clock Company’s time system, which linked entire clock systems electronically with a master clock. These 1940s models were sold with installation and regular maintenance services. This clock is mounted in a bronze color metal frame and features an off-white Arabic numeral face. Untested.

Western Union quit offering time service in the 1962 I believe and simply abandoned most of the rental clocks right where they were. Without the daily synchronizing signal from the telegraph lines, the clocks just ran on their own until the battery died and the building owner took them down. 

With careful adjustment, the clocks will keep a very good rate if securely fastened to the wall and the dry cells are maintained. This provided the clock movement is in good mechanical service condition.
