Kovels.com ... Collectors' Top Twenty Choices for October 2007

Many collectors searching for clocks and Coca-Cola items were visitors to Kovels.com in October, making them two of the top twenty searched-for categories of the month. This art deco Coca-Cola clock sold recently at Rich Penn Auctions in Waterloo, Iowa. It's metal, electric and dates from the 1940s. It is also a "crossover collectible," with potential value to more than one group of collectors-clock enthusiasts, Coca-Cola collectors, and lovers of art deco items.

Whatever their field of interest, wise collectors start their research at Kovels.com.
