Nidec Copal 101
Recently purchased this beauty! From what I read this is where it all started. I’m curious to find out the approximate value. This clock is new in the box.

Well heck! It's valuable to me! I'd sure like to have that.
That's the point really. It's trite, but it's only worth what someone will pay. Unfortunately, not many people appreciate the importance of this clock in flip clock history (in my opinion).
But anyway, to have it with the box and instructions just makes it that much more valuable, as I'm sure you realize. It would sell all day long at $50.00, at auction on eBay it could easily go $75 to 100.00. I personally think a collector of Copals would pay up to $150.00.
That's about it. Collectors of these clocks are few really, compared to other clocks. $150 would be top dollar. Your horologists tend to see flip clocks as an aberration on clock history - cheap, plastic, mass produced and made for the common man.
Personally I think it's a little gem and I'd love to have it for my flip clock wall.
I'd trade you a "Back to the Future" flip clock for it. Got one ready to go anytime you want it.~ Mackey Site Administrator
