This Hotpoint range timer was made by General Electric and incorporates a Telechron movement. Marketed ca. the mid 1930s, it is model 3T20/TM-21. The skyscraper-styled black Bakelite case features subtly stepped shoulders and base. Instead of a sweep second hand, this timer has a rotating disk to indicate seconds.

I have a question. Does the Hotpoint timer run as a standard clock?
Thanks!
Since they have an obsolete three prong plug, they need to be rewired to function just as a clock. I've seen one or two adapted for use as household timers with the addition of an outlet attached second cord. A little awkward looking maybe, but at least they're retaining the timer function.
