The General Electric “Breton” Clock was produced between 1937 and 1939. There evidently was no design patent issued for this clock, but according to Jim Linz’ book Electrifying Time , the center design and numerals are variations of designs patented by the noted clock designer, John P. The clock face is lit on the bottom edge by two different intensities of illumination which are regulated by a switch on the back of the base. The clock also runs, and is EXTREMELY quiet. There are some very minor fleabites to the white finish around the edges of the face and there is a place as seen in photographs on the bottom left. Where some of the white finish is missing. Also, the stepped base has some light abrasions due to general wear. The clock has been rewired with reproduction fabric cord to which a bakelite plug has been added. If you wished to use the clock continuously in a room other than the bedroom, you could unscrew the four screws on the bottom cover and remove the easy access light bulb if so desired.
