TESTED AND WORKING. Kept time for 24 hours.
Perfect for any retro room, with Art Deco styling from the 1950's. This is the world famous, original, Jefferson Golden Hour Clock. It features a round see-through glass "crystal" with 24 karat gold plated round frame, base and hands. These were made starting in 1949. Neat see-through face, with very stylish hands and numerals.The mystery of how this works is... in the glass face--it has gears on the hidden edges that meshes with the motor, turning one hand. Gears and weighted parts then allow the hands to work together keeping time. The cord appears to be original to the clock.The finish is a bronze-gold tone, they were plated in 24k gold at time of manufacture. There are some scratches and wear consistent with age.
Measurements are approx. 8 7/8 inches tall x 4 1/2 inch base. Round clock face frame is approx. 7 7/16 inches.
