The KEY that turns an old mechanical toy or clock.

Key to mechanics
Signature Tune




Some of you may still have relatives who have a clock that needed to be wound up each day, generally before folks went to bed.

Then again many toys ran on clockwork not on batteries and had to be wound up, these were truly mechanical.


With this piece you'll see a key to the right and the shadow of a clock in the background, it may even look like a toy to you. Now I've had another look, (I was relying on my memory before) I can't see a clock at all. Just a toy

Train the mind to tune in to the unexpected.

Oh? I just hypnotized myself looking for that darn key, and now I can't shake the urge to tick-tock-tick . . . tock.

Wow! Does that take me back. If you have any wind up toys at all, they can command a REAL high price among collectors!

Where'd I leave my toy box . . . think darn it, think.

Raven, MONEY, Honey?, I didn't think you cared.

James, a typical man's approach, what is it worth? Of course if you get a lot of dough, fisherman or no' all the females will follow, you lucky fellow, but don't know what the wife will say.
