Northern Electric Clock

[sebbel]

I bought myself a gift today. I think it will look amazing with my collection of Northern Electric Telephone.

I have seem plenty of Nothern Electric radio/clock combo but never an actual clock.  I just loved the look of it and had to get it.

sebbel,

Can you post a picture of your find added to your original post or as a reply? This is all that's left at the eBay link.

While ago, I was getting a different Ebay screen for expired listing when clicking on the same link, which included something like this:

<snip>

This listing (271399734773) has been removed, or this item is not available.

        Please check that you've entered the correct item number
        Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing.

It does seem that old links are expiring more quickly than before, but not always.

Does the format make a difference in whether or not you get an expired notice rather than the actual auction?

This one from Feb 03, 2013,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300853333667

which eBay highlighted as one of their exceptional auctions, still has the main picture (all other pictures have been deleted) and all of the descriptive text up, along with the bid history, so it seems it's up to eBay what and when they want to expire an auction number.

This screenshot was take a few minutes ago.

Yes, that, as pictured below, is what I get when I first click on sebbel's link but it only stays on the monitor for only about 3 seconds and then automatically switches to the screen shot posted above. I had to do a real quick screen print to get this image below.
