For the visual condition of the shiny, brown Bakelite Telechron Model 355 electric Cathedral Clock, please review the 15 high-resolution photos and the video (of the clock running) that are included in this listing. This beautiful clock RUNS & KEEPS TIME. We have refurbished it, but everything is all original, including the two plugs, except that we have replaced the original cord with a new brown RAYON (not plastic/vinyl) cord for safety reasons; this cord with its two brown Bakelite plugs that match the clock, is fully in keeping with what the original cord was like (although it was black).
