Are vintage clocks a fire hazard?
Gen•X•er (I love zombies!) asked:
I have some clocks from the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s (they are all plug-in) that I really want to use–I don’t want to keep them in a closet somewhere! One has a very old cloth electrical cord, the others are newer vinyl-type cords. Some of the clocks are wood, some are bakelite. Are any of these clocks a serious fire hazard?
