The top of my price range is about $250 (although wouldn't mind window-shopping some really beautiful ones above that range just for fun). [more inside]

I have an original, fully functional, Seiko Pyramid Talk clock (the world's first talking clock) from 1984. Does anyone know if these are rare or desired by clock collectors? I can't find a single one for sale anywhere.
