My father has one of these clocks and he has been wondering what it would be worth. I told him I would search it on the net but I am having a hard time finding anything about them.
I sold my clock for 200 but later saw it in an Antique store for nearly 600. But I made 100 % profit so I can't complain. It is a beautiful clock , has 2 lights in the back that really make it stand out. Thanks for the comment. Chris
This is a 1960's clock. Wolfe Dairies was in Knoxville, Tn. I've owned 3 in my life. One in mint condition will sell for about $800. The one I currently have is in the $400-450 range. They are getting much harder to find. Be very careful about the bulbs you use.
Harvey Wolfe, who owned the dairy, was my uncle. I wish I had kept all the things he gave us - mechanical pencils with a milk carton on top, a milk truck bank, and many others. He sold the dairy when he retired, and has since passed on.
I, too, have a Wolfe Dairies mechanical pencil with a carton on top, and also have one with a milk bottle on it ! My father worked there when I was born. Elaine Boyle, who posted before me, I need to contact you if at all possible. I have a reason : My middle name is Michael, and my father told me that I was named after Mike Wolfe, who as I recall was Harvey's nephew, or at least he was for sure kin to him. Well, I never even got to meet him. Please contact me if you see this -- or tell me how to contact you. I live in Sevierville TN.
