Second that idea, Ron.... I bet there are plenty of "oddities" out there, be they factory or otherwise. I think battery powered radios with old, or even newer x battery eliminators built in would be included under this topic. Maybe even (ahem) people who marry 116X chassis/speakers to 116b tombstone cabinets could submit their entries.................
ANOTHER SUBJECT: wonder if your grandfather clock actually takes a model 51 chassis, which is really the same as a 52 except for the number. The reason I say this is that it would logically follow the 551 mantle radio model.
