The 1946-48 Telechron Model 8B23, “Register” had a gun metal or bronze finished case with gold color ornaments and brass feet. The number drums are light ivory with black characters. It is 3.5 X 7.25 by 3 9/16 inches.
Introduced in October of 1946 for $28.00, the price had risen to $37.00 in 1948 when it was discontinued. According to company records 4,780 units were sold.
