VINTAGE WORKING PLASTIC ADVERTISING CLOCK 16.5" R C ALLEN BUSINESS MACHINES

Description

This listing is for a vintage advertising clock made of plastic and dating to the 1950's, I would think.  The motor is marked SYNCHRON, and the clock advertises R C Allen Business Machines, makers of all kinds of adding machines, etc.  The shell measures 16 1/2 inches in diameter and the clock is about 3 1/2 inches deep.  This old clock is in very good, running condition.  I put new appliance bulbs in it and it lit right up and seems to run well.  I haven't tested it for any length of time.  The plastic shell has a crack in it that runs from near the center to above 3 o'clock and ends right by the top rim.  It doesn't go into the side of the clock and seems to be a fairly harmless and minor defect.  The framework holding the motor and bulbs to the shell is very sturdy and holding well.  Overall condition is very good in spite of the small crack.  I have other advertising items listed in my store along with hundreds of antiques and collectibles, all arranged in categories for browsing convenience. All of my items were found in estate sales and cleanouts on Cape Cod.  None of the items have been touched by the public, just stored in totes. All items have been stored for weeks or thoroughly washed.  I am in a low risk area and I am observing all precautions for virus protection.
I use USPS for shipping, usually Parcel Select or First Class. All international shipping is done through eBay, no exceptions.  I pack everything thoroughly, using well packed, sturdy cardboard boxes.
