I have a Ship’s Bell clock dating to the early 50s that’s co-signed with a historic jeweler in Boston (and it was manufactured just outside the city, too). I bought it listed as non-running from an estate sale with no key, and expected to have to take it apart and service it myself. To my surprise, I bought a key and wound it up and it keeps really good time.

I picked up a retro looking desk clock from an Etsy site called Royale Enamel, which I keep on a credenza in my home office - it's received several positive comments from people who have seen it. It's obviously not vintage, but it does have vintage vibes. FWIW, it's actually a creamy white, but it always shows as bright white in photos.

I also have a vintage Jefferson "mystery clock" that I think is really cool. Unfortunately, when I bought it I didn't think to ask the seller if it kept good time. It was advertised as being in "working condition", and while that is indeed the case, it loses about 15 minutes per hour, so it's essentially just a decoration at the moment.
