Default Freebie!! Freebie!! Freebie!!

I am cleaning out a bunch of electrical miscellany inherited from my grandfather. One of the items I found packed away in a box of relays is this double contact, single pole job. It's pretty hefty, as relays go, I suspect it was power suppley control, judging from the size of the contacts. I took lots of photos, from every angle, so that if it is supposed to fit in a clock case, as I suspect, you will have some inkling whether it will fit youers. The reason I believe it goes to a master clock is the label on the bottom, in my grandfather's handwriting, that reads, "Blodgett Clock Co, Boston Mass. Dec 3, 1913."

Shipping weight is gonna run just about four pounds. If the cost is under twenty bucks, I'll cover it. But if the blamed thing has to be shipped to Australia, we're gonna have to negotiate it! If anyone has a use for this, speak up. If I get more than one response within the next couple of days, we'll set a date, and I'll contact a moderator, and tell him (or her) a number, and we'll do it like the free clock giveaways.

I don't get a feel for the size of these relays but consider that flat rate shipping is available for both domestic and international. One rate, 20 lb max., overseas; Fifty pounds, domestic. WELL under twenty locally. Large flat rate, domestic about twelve bucks I believe.
Details at USPS.COM

Two replies so far - let's leave it through the weekend, and then if I don't get any more, I guess first come-first served seems fair enough. If thre ae two or more who jump in on the weekend, we can do it on a pick a number basis.

Well - only two takers. Looks like neighmond was in there first, so, since there are only two, first come, first served. Send me your shipping info in a private meaasge, neighmond, and I'll get this thing off to you.
