What happens
Gildersleeve wants to pick a special anniversary present for his nephew Bronco's wife, Marjorie, and offers to find out her wishes. Instead he buys an old grandfather's clock from Judge Hooker, convinced she has long admired it. Leroy helps carry the clock home, where it is hidden in a closet. Gildersleeve then visits Marjorie and tries to learn what she wants, which leads to a series of misunderstandings. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC on May 6, 1953. Harold Peary and Willard Waterman are among the leads.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
