I'm gonna guess Westinghouse Columnaire. I think the chassis is an RCA?

Took me a while to find a picture of a Columnaire. I think you're spot on:

If its for sale, or even give-a-way, I think I'd cabbage on it, pronto...

Looks like a pretty old chassis (v. early 30s?) if the clock is electric, it may be one of those cool "spin to start" ones.

I dipped into my reserve 'cabbage' and am heading out into the cold night to check it out. I'll put on my best poker face :D

Was that a CL buy? That thing is wierd looking. The clock face will need some serious attention.

Yep. Weird, but very cool looking IMO. It's still out in the garage so I haven't had a chance to examine the clock in any detail. I just found out it should have had glass over it so I'm sure it's nice and dirty and maybe corroded :(

I just started a new thread in this forum (Westinghouse WR-8) with a bunch of pictures.
