The Kenmore Model 906 "Dowling" was manufactured circa 1932 by the Kodel Corporation of Cincinnati, OH. Its emphatically Art Deco skyscraper-styled case is made of lustrous maroon-brown Bakelite. The dial has the deluxe feature of a date/day readout. Like many clocks of the day, it is non-self starting: a knob on the back must be rotated to get it going.

Kenmore/Kodel made several great looking clocks that are easily overlooked. Killer skyscraper piece.
love all your art deco style clocks!!! im fortunate enough to live in the suburbs of Tulsa Okla. where we didnt tear down all our art deco style buildings. Tulsa had LOTS of corp. headquarters in the 1920s-50s due to the oil fields in this area & they didnt spare any expence on archetecture!!!
Tulsa is a great town for Deco-watching. I had the good fortune to tour F.L. Wright's 1929 "Westhope" there years ago - an amazing house. Thanks for the love mikielikesigns2!
