That was one of them moments where I’m like, Matt, quit talking and open the damn crate!! Super cool stuff and I’m glad it’s being preserved at WTT. Can’t wait to get up there soon.
Beautiful!! 👍🤠👍 Brother, I’ve never gotten to see your museum except on TH-cam. I’m grateful that you bring it to all of us!!! I definitely want to come see it in person sometime. I think it’s one of the greatest historical treasures in the world!!! BTW……what’s the progress on the airplane?
Living in Denmark, I know, I never will see it. At least I get to envy him and you guys, who can go see it irl. Every time I se places like this, I hope, they have veeery good fire protection. That's the worst thing about museums - so much that can be destroyed by one single "unlucky" event..
Your excitement had me at the edge of my seat. The buildup was excellent. It was like watching Ralphie opening the Red Ryder... The Clock is Outstanding... A fabulous piece to add to the Museum collection. Can't wait for more great content and my first visit... Thanks for sharing what you do...
Theres no question that the clock you have is worth more then twice the price but like you said it's not about what its worth to everyone. I'm so glad that the person sold it to you did the right thing by allowing you to add it to (probably) the most unique motorcycle museums in the world, most realisitic for sure. Absoultley a beautiful piece of history no question about it, looking forward to see it one day soon in person. Keep up the great American history to the world.
Very nice clock! I have many old electric clocks. I don’t use them, not because of the fire risk, but simply mine don’t keep accurate time. But I do proud display them. Over time you stop looking at them for the time
The hum is likely the transformer for the neon tube. Later transformers, like post '70s and such, are much quieter. I'm thinking even the transformer is original. Awesome piece, Matt! Fr
Yeah, It started right up, just like a Harley. Thanks Matt. And hey if you're looking for another Harley Davidson Dealer clock I've got one It's round and Orange - Black and about the same size as this one you have here in this video .
That looks like the clock that was in Harley Davidson's Factory in Milwalkee, Wisconsin! You lucky dog! It must be a rebuilt clock or is it? 1947? "AWESOME!"
This was pretty damn cool 😎 We were in Milwaukee just yesterday & whipped in to the Harley Davidson Museum !! Awesome experience !! Highly recommend !! 🇺🇲
I came across a trailer that is old it's a trailer that they hauled Indian motorcycles to the dealers that hooks to a rig .it is a yellow orange color and has a Indian cycles printed on the whole side and it's just sitting there nobody doing nothing whith it but it's awesome the art work on this trailer..it's in Milton NH and would make a great out side addition to your museum. But anyways I love what your doing there and would love to come and see the museum I love old stuff and love that you have a passion to preserve as much as you can ..how did you make out on your quota to get your museum up to code...I watched the live show it was great ..anyways I wish I could afford to go there it seems everything I like is more down south ..and I'm in newhampshire but again love what your doing and God bless and stay safe
Harley would rather sue people associated with Harley displays. That is what they did to Bills Cycle and museum in Bloomsburg Pennsylvania. Possibly several lawsuits. They would rather spend money that way than to actually help another guy out. Harley can go to Hell with their attitude.
Matt at one point in my long life l collected Clocks.....Ans when you plugged that AMAZING AWESOME Harley clock in l all most peed😵 my pants....WHAT A FIND....DO YOU WANT TO SELL IT ??👀lol .....Thanks so very much for sharing that treasure 👍👍👍👍...Old Shoe🇺🇸
maybe the humming is 60hz. and it runs 60hz motor? because it's older than quartz watch mechanisms anyway. it would keep the time just as good as your electricity happens to be fixed to 60hz then. edit: also maybe not adjust it while you have it plugged in due to the neon high voltage that exists within it, if the insulation detoriated. it'd likely just go poof if it had 1500v to the frame
Matt, all neons hummms it’s the transformer. I wouldn’t leave the neon for long periods of time, as it will cause the paint to start peeling and start popping off!
Someone gave me a Ford clock. I don't know how old it is and it gives the sound of 12 different Ford engines one on every hour . I'm not much of a Ford fan but it's a unique vlovk regardless. I like clocks like that one you bought. Mainly because of the sweep second hand doesn't tick . It just rolls around smoothly.
That was one of them moments where I’m like, Matt, quit talking and open the damn crate!! Super cool stuff and I’m glad it’s being preserved at WTT. Can’t wait to get up there soon.
🤣
I live in Newfoundland Commue Kanada and I sure hope I can ride to WTT one day soon. Would be amazing! 🤞😣🤞
A gem ! Thank you it's gone to the best place possible , to be seen and enjoyed by many many people. !
Matt, I’m glad to see it was as it was represented to be in condition and originality! Great addition for the museum!
Literally lit up with joy when I saw the lights I would put that right on my nightstand beside my bed a killer deal Matt
Amazing, simply amazing Matt! Love this channel more and more. Thanks for all you do!
AMAZING piece,.... keeping the history alive.......!!!!
I had one, it's beautiful! If you think about it, it's always motorcycle time. Mine had a small chain to turn the neon light on. Love memorabilia!
What a great addition to the museum. All the best again from Down Under.
What a fantastic find! Great addition to the museum. Thanks!
That clock looked beautiful when you opened the crate. Then you plugged it in and BAMM, it came alive in all its original glory. I love it!
A timely addition to the museum ... awesome
Such a sweet addition to the museum Matt!!! Great score!!!!
Beautiful!! 👍🤠👍
Brother, I’ve never gotten to see your museum except on TH-cam. I’m grateful that you bring it to all of us!!! I definitely want to come see it in person sometime. I think it’s one of the greatest historical treasures in the world!!! BTW……what’s the progress on the airplane?
@@imapiledriver2462 Thanks brother, I can only imagine. I’m definitely working on a trip up there.
Living in Denmark, I know, I never will see it. At least I get to envy him and you guys, who can go see it irl. Every time I se places like this, I hope, they have veeery good fire protection. That's the worst thing about museums - so much that can be destroyed by one single "unlucky" event..
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the crate to be opened. Matt, you built the tension expertly !
I thought he talked too much.
Your excitement had me at the edge of my seat. The buildup was excellent. It was like watching Ralphie opening the Red Ryder... The Clock is Outstanding... A fabulous piece to add to the Museum collection. Can't wait for more great content and my first visit... Thanks for sharing what you do...
Thank you for your great videos . Nice to see an old piece of American motorcycle history .
1947 catalog shows $26.50
This is amazing. I love it, i love your museum!
So about $1400 today. That would have been a very expensive clock.
Theres no question that the clock you have is worth more then twice the price but like you said it's not about what its worth to everyone.

An AWESOME addition to your collection!! VERY nice to see it all work as it should!!!!!
Awesome find Matt that goes perfect with your museum .
Great find Matt! It's now in a great home where It can be seen and appreciated by all that come to visit.
VERY NICE ADDITION TO THE MUSEUM MATT WELL DONE!!
WOW Matt, I can’t believe the neon is still working after all these years. Great find. Can’t wait to see it in person
Beautiful find Matt!
Wow, that's a beautiful piece!
Love it; worth every penny, as far as I'm concerned! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Very cool!!! Today you can't duplicate the look of old neon. Incredible condition! You did well!
Matt, your the man! Keep going brother.
Probably The only unboxing video I will ever forgive. And I’m not a Harley fan, but that’s a seriously cool clock. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool find ! I wish I could go back in “time” and buy a couple dozen of them .
Thanks Matt I finally ordered my pistons for my 1916 Indian board track bike thanks for all the information you gave me another bike lives on
Love that humming sound from the clock it takes me back in time even though im only 53.
When you plugged it in, it took my mind back in time. Crazy cool addition to your museum.
😵What you keep finding is amazing. Keep it up 👍
Sweet clock!
Congratulations!!
$27 in 1945 money is @ $445 in 2022 money but of course its worth so much more and I'd love to hang this in my shop!
My bet is the humming is actually from the neon light. Neon lights always had that sound. Great find Matt, and it works beautifully!!!
Simply wow. Amazing addition at WTT.
What an amazing piece. well done
I got such a huge smile once it lit up, great find Matt !
Awesome I'm glad it didn't give you a smoke signal when you plugged it in. Nice addition.
Absolutely 100% worth every penny. I'm excited to come see it.
Very nice clock! I have many old electric clocks. I don’t use them, not because of the fire risk, but simply mine don’t keep accurate time. But I do proud display them. Over time you stop looking at them for the time
Cool you guys got that! I'd seen it on Brian's wall he's got lots of cool stuff!
The hum is likely the transformer for the neon tube. Later transformers, like post '70s and such, are much quieter. I'm thinking even the transformer is original. Awesome piece, Matt! Fr
Looks awesome Matt 😃
One of the best things of this video is you can tell how excited Matt was
Very interesting and informative. Thank you.
Wow!! Thats bloody awesome!!
Only somebody from the Empire would talk like that.
So cool. My favourite channel as I keep saying over and over again!
Thanks for watching!!
I'm riding up there from south Georgia on Monday to check out the museum. Super stoked.
If I ever have the occasion to go in USA , shops like yours will be the only reason to go .
Such an awesome place, I am getting the bug to come check this place out.
We'll be waiting for you!
Yeah, It started right up, just like a Harley.
Thanks Matt. And hey if you're looking for another Harley Davidson Dealer clock I've got one It's round and Orange - Black and about the same size as this one you have here in this video .
a wonderful item - love it!
Agree absolutely super cool. In retrospect, you did NOT overpay at all.
Beautiful find!
The absolute art prolonging anticipation👏
It is beautiful. I know just how you feel. I bought an original clock from the 60's for my mother in law, who just loves Pepsi.
That looks like the clock that was in Harley Davidson's Factory in Milwalkee, Wisconsin! You lucky dog! It must be a rebuilt clock or is it? 1947? "AWESOME!"
Matt you so deserve that amazing piece at a super cool price! 🤘😎🤘
Your excitement is out of this world
he looks as excited as he is when about to start a 100yr old bike not touched for past 20yrs!
What a nice piece, thát is so nice. Somewhere in the house I have a dashboard clock for a Hudson Terraplane, it is still in 6V.
Wow what I great find Matt!.....its Christmas every day for you man!
This was pretty damn cool 😎
We were in Milwaukee just yesterday & whipped in to the Harley Davidson Museum !!
Awesome experience !!
Highly recommend !! 🇺🇲
1947... Same year as my beloved El Knucklehead. ♥️ Nice clock!
Im 40 minutes from Lima Ohio , The Allen County Museum has a board track racer with shipping crate !! How cool
75 years old and seems to be working better than some new ones, quality.
I just love where you work...

2nd from Oz. I hope Harley Davidson help out the museum with a fire suppression system to help preserve all this Harley history.
Harley can barely help themselves right now lol. Jokes aside they should be involved somehow
Also from oz. No, but they’ll let you sell some shirts and belt buckles.
Harley would rather sue people associated with Harley displays. That is what they did to Bills Cycle and museum in Bloomsburg Pennsylvania. Possibly several lawsuits. They would rather spend money that way than to actually help another guy out. Harley can go to Hell with their attitude.
I share your excitement. I have got to visit your museum I hope to take a road trip there on my 59 FL this summer. Your gonna have to throw me out.
Matt at one point in my long life l collected Clocks.....Ans when you plugged that AMAZING AWESOME Harley clock in l all most peed😵 my pants....WHAT A FIND....DO YOU WANT TO SELL IT ??👀lol
.....Thanks so very much for sharing that treasure 👍👍👍👍...Old Shoe🇺🇸
There's just something comforting about the glow of vintage neon, it looks great
maybe the humming is 60hz. and it runs 60hz motor? because it's older than quartz watch mechanisms anyway. it would keep the time just as good as your electricity happens to be fixed to 60hz then.
edit: also maybe not adjust it while you have it plugged in due to the neon high voltage that exists within it, if the insulation detoriated. it'd likely just go poof if it had 1500v to the frame
Wow this is incredible!!!
Oddly, my grandfather works at Lima neon right around the same time… wish he was still around to ask some questions!
Congratulations 👏!🔥
That is so dope definitely worth every penny you spent
Beautiful!
Very nice Matt, as if time stood still
What a piece 👏👏👏👏 👌
PLEASE! Tell us about that big early v8 roadster someday soon! I love the clock btw!
That is super cool, good find, good buy
How was I not subscribed until now!?! Keep it up Matt!
Thanks for the sub!
WOW !!
Magnificent !!!
Was just there last week, what a great place to spend a day.
Matt, all neons hummms it’s the transformer. I wouldn’t leave the neon for long periods of time, as it will cause the paint to start peeling and start popping off!
Wow! What a nice clock!
VERY Cool Clock Matt
good for you , great thing you do
I would replace the electrical cord with a new grounded cord.......
Great find 👍
Great find matt
There I was, fangirling so hard I forgot how to tell time....hahahhahha
Someone gave me a Ford clock. I don't know how old it is and it gives the sound of 12 different Ford engines one on every hour . I'm not much of a Ford fan but it's a unique vlovk regardless.

That a boy matt. Keep up the good hunt!
I use to professionally pack for shipping stuff like this. You are very lucky the glass wasn't broken!
pritty awsome..and it will live on forever in your place..
It's finally home!👍
Like a kid at Christmas...we share the excitement and joy that it's 1947 all over again.....
Nice find Matt!
Humming is normal! My dad restored antique electronics! Antiques to us, he grew up with them!
