Very RARE!!! Antique 1930s - 40s Cleveland PEPSI COLA Double Neon ClockCompletely Restored*** ALL ORIGINAL ***Serious collectors: A very RARE Find (make sure you look at the pictures and videos) of this fantastic large Original Cleveland clock with a very old... (but hand restored / hand painted) Pepsi Cola Dial... or Face.See both lit and unlit videos with the youtube links below:Neon Unlit:https: youtu be 8yaA7ltV yQNeon Lit:https: youtu be lD9eRmXkAoo Video above (ebay photos) only shows the lit version (when it appears)NOTE: The Inner Neon is RED and the face lights up RED. Pictures (due to my digital camera) appear orange, but in person... the inside color is a nice RED!SPECIAL NOTE: I had a question, which I will address here. Someone wanted to know about the transformer, being what appears to be " old ". So, here's my response: As the transformer is perfectly working already... perhaps whoever is considering buying this may be concerned about having to replace an "old" transformer down the road. I will gladly swap it out for a brand new 3500V transformer if requested (no charge)... which I have on hand... and you will be assured of having a long life for the internals... or for $75 additional, you can keep the original one in there, and I will send the replacement along so you may keep it on hand, since I have already swapped the old motor out, . for a New Old Stock Synchron, and as well.... serviced / and lubricated the movement. It is just as new as well. (I can send you a photo of the original motor before swapping it out, on request) You cannot ask for a better combination of original replacement parts for this super RARE Cleveland Clock. Now ready to last another lifetime.This clock was recently acquired from an estate collection, and the original design of the Pepsi logo was completely crackled (see the photos for comparison). It then was professionally restored (hand painted) over the old design exactly as it was originally. No filling of the crackle.... all of that is still there, but the colors are completely now uniform and visible with no obliteration. This is still an original face. The clock required a new neon tube on the outside, and a replacement (New Old Stock) original Synchron Motor (pictures show the improvement. New wiring and cloth covered long cord... and the addition of a pull chain switch to allow the clock to be on, but the neon to be turned on or off at will. The entire housing was repainted as well. This is set to sit upright on any table or counter... or hang from any sturdy wall hook by its rear bracket... or hang suspended vertically from any higher elevation by the attached chain. (see picture of back)All in all, you won't find one of these around in this lifetime again. Very Unique, and RARE as all you real collectors know. Measures: 23" by 20" (diag / flat) by 6" DepthWeighs: 19 Lbs Shipping: Rest assured... I know how to ship these for full protection. I use soft foam for cushioning and hard foam for wall protection and crush proofing. Will go by Fedex insured. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
