1940s fiber case 12" GE. All the metal was going to the war effort so the case is made from a pressed fiberboard of some sort. Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Here is one that must be for a school or a factory...All those holes on the circle are so you can repositions some contacts and then the long hand touches them, and it powers a transformer inside...to run a lunch break horn or bell? IDK I just started using it in January, after it sat unused since 2002!!...still keeps perfect time...after that long spell.
I found this old Kodak X-Ray timer. It's heavy, everything on it works and the buzzer is so loud it damn near wakes the dead. I bought it because it has such a cool look to it. The crescent needles, red face and large curved glass face gives it a lot of style and character.
The double sided came from a local university. It has dates inside that it was serviced earliest is 1968. The Orange clock is a day/night clock has a dial that changes from the sun to the moon as time goes through the day. dated 1928.
Double faced T&N slave clock from an old factory... And the corresponding master clock...Initially I was just looking for a nice wall clock for the garage when I stumbled over the double faced slave clock in the local classifieds...The seller then told me that he also has an old mechanical clock that is not working but that I could also have for the same price...That was the master clock. Except for the broken suspension spring fromteh pendulum the clock was in almost as new condition. So there was the next unplanned project...It is fully mechnical with a solenoid system to wind up the sping. Keeps amazingly exact time and can control up to about 50 slave clocks... So now I need some more clocks to install everywhere
I have a soft spot for advertisement clocks......Pam and others. I found this a few years ago, keeps perfect time.
Touraine Paints 16" clock. No idea on the year but judging by the mechanics and wiring I'd say late 50s early 60s. Still keeps perfect time. Sent from my SM-G930V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
From the friendly parts house upstairs in the ** shop I spent 24 years. They were bought out by some bigger $$$, and were ready to retire. They always told me I'd get it someday.
From the local Meadow Gold Creamery warehouse. MG bought out Arden in the '50s ... Too bad the "E" isn't a "U" ...
I just "restored" my grandfather's Telechron advertising clock. He had an insurance and tax prep business. I need to replace the light sockets inside but it keeps perfect time. The body is the fiber board type material with a glass face.
