Finished the resto on this clock, gave the porcelain a good clean & wax, removed paint splatter and re-applied a coat of semi-gloss to the walnut frame, made up some hands out of tin sheet metal as I could-nt find any suitable, and found the perfect spot for it!
These were made between 1935-'44 in Hamilton, Ont. Canada.
Two versions, one had a "spinner" in the center used in pubs to determine who was buying the next round. This version has no spinner., so I guess I'm buying!! Cheers!!
