Remember, you don't have to be a geezer
to join and enjoy either organization!
If you're not a member of the NAWCC (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) or MBSI (Musical Box Society International), you may contact them directly for additional info.
Both are organizations to which you should belong if you have serious interest in either clocks or mechanical music items such as music boxes, nickelodeons, etc. The publications or each organization alone are worth WAY more than the minimal annual membership fee... honest. Membership also entitles you to attend otherwise-closed meetings and item "meets", where many antiques are sold and traded out of the public eye.
And you'll also meet a lot of very nice, well-informed people who share a common interest with you.
We'll be pleased to sponsor you!
