I bought this clock at a thrift store (told by clerk it wasn’t working – checked motor but didn’t try it because when I saw how early the motor was, I didn’t want to possibly hurt it more; patents start in 1933 & last one was given in 1944)
By the motor it was made by Haydom Mtg Co.(an incredible man with over 100 patents I learned while researching the motor!), but it has absolutely no exterior markings – from a clock company (Sessions used Haydom’s clock moters I learned – I also have a Sessions 8 Day Banjo clock) – from a dept. store – nothing!
I don’t know if it was a prototype (it looks like a WWII submarine’s window; maybe they decided it was too much of a reminder of the war? I’d think it’d be a positive reminder – the clock is beautiful & has a military & a 40’s view of the future look to it!
Any help/info/rarity/value, etc would be greatly appreciated.
