Looks to be on the same caliber as my clocks.  At least it costs a lot less than some.

Listing mentions it was built by his grandfather. It definitely looks "rough around the edges", but he certainly put his heart into it.

If I ever end up having grandkids, I hope they will keep my clocks alive with the spare tubes I have rather than sell them on Ebay.

It's a heatsink for his regulator.  A bit overkill but probably something that was laying around.  Clearly a hand made project from old parts but a genuine nixie clock.  Some of my stuff from 50 years ago looked like that but I liked it!

They look like part of the heat sink for the orange device  (a rectifier maybe  ??)

What's up with the upside down vacuum tube with only 2 pins hooked up?

It’s probably a crystal.
