Default Setting Your Clocks Back

I have a lot of old, old, old, wind up clocks and electric clocks.One of
them I am looking at right now is small, but it is very heavy, it says,
The Measuregraph Company
St.Louis.U.S.A.
1922

Another old clock I have is what I think is called a Watchman's Clock,
it is inside of a leather case. A Watchman, or a Guard, would make his
rounds, doing Guard duty.He would go from place to place and insert a
key into the clock and turn the key so as to prove he wasen't sleeping
on the job.Another old clock I have is a Hotel clock.There are a lot of
little levers (which can be slid back and forth) all around the dial of
the clock.

I have more old clocks (and quite a few old wris****ches) and old radios
and many other kinds of weird old thingys than you can shake a stick at,
and that is the Truth.
