Antique Borden's Neon Clock Art Deco Octagonal 1930's? Working Order
SOLD $1,800.00 Sold: Apr 3, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Classic octagonal 18" housing holds this old Borden's clock. I love the jadeite decorated reverse painted glass. The frame is metal and has an aluminum trim holding the glass in place. The clock is working whisper quiet and keeping time with its Synchron motor. The knob is missing on the setting stem, so you need a knob or must set it with pliers. At some point, a newer power cord has been installed.The neon light flickers badly when started, but after a little bit the flickering is greatly reduced, but the light output is just not there. The picture flatters how bright it is, because it's not that bright. You will need to do work with the neon to get it back up to speed.There is slight face degradation here and there, but certainly not bad for a clock this age. The glass is just fine, without issue. The face is foam padded with thick cardboard over it. The clock is foam wrapped and bubbled and packed in a double strength 24X24X10 box with Styrofoam peanuts, foam slips and bubble wrap to provide ample cushioning to ensure a safe trip to your home.Ships UPS Ground, but USPS Priority and FedEx are secondary options you may choose at check out Thanks Eddie (Condition: Pre-Owned)
