A LOVELY VINTAGE ART DECO 12″ dia BAKELITE WALL CLOCK 14″ 1/2′ dia BAKELITE CASING. MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN MADE BY SMITHS ENGLISH CLOCKS LTD CRICKLEWOOD LONDON. THIS IS AN ATTRACTIVE CLASSIC BAKELITE 1930’s 1940’s BRITISH SMITHS CLOCK, A GENUINE PIECE OF INDUSTRIAL HISTORY, THE TYPE OF CLOCK FOUND IN SCHOOLS, RAILWAY STATIONS, OFFICES, BANKS AND FACTORYS. IT’S JUST SO RETRO RIGHT NOW WITH IT’S ORIGINAL SMITH SECTRIC WORKINGS WHICH ARE MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN (THESE ARE FULLY WORKING) HOWEVER THERE IS NO WIRING WITH THE CLOCK, I USED IT USING A RADIO PLUG LEAD AND JUST PUSHED THE FEMALE END ONTO THE TWO BRASS PINS ON THE BACK (THE PURCHASER SHOULD REALLY GET THE CORRECT PLUG OR JUST HANG IT ON THE WALL AS IT IS). IT HAS THE STYLE OF THE ERA, IT’S IN NEAR EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION THOUGH IT DOES HAVE SOME AGE SPOTS AND MINOR MARKS TO THE FACE WHICH I THINK ADD TO IT’S CHARACTER. THE BAKELITE IS PERFECT, BRIGHT AND GLOSSY WITH NO DAMAGE AS IS THE BACK WORKINGS CASE. IT JUST LOOKS FANTASTIC ON THE WALL. IT MEASURES A LARGE : 37cm WIDE AND SITS 9cm OUT FROM THE WALL PLUS A 3cm HAND ADJUSTMENT KNOB AT THE BASE. I WELCOME OVERSEAS BUYERS (WORLDWIDE).
