  1. LOUMANAL, Makes sense he is crouching not kneeling. Thanks Russ
  2. According to the NAWCC (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) newsletter there were 21,460 of these clocks produce, they sold a lot of refrigerators. This information was provided by Ed...
  3. I agree that a lot of books that put out info back in the 70's-80's, Especially Collector Books, are now outdated by new info that comes forward from all places, I never look at one later than 2005.
  4. The ones with the metal faces are newer, Hirsch quit using the cellulose and switched to metal.
  5. These Gerdago Girl bookends were manufactured by J. B. Hirsch in 1927. They are gray metal (spelter) with a celluloid face on a marble base, their rarity is a 5 according to the Collectors Encycloped...
  6. Another Scorpio loves them, great opals.
  7. Telechron and G E both used MAZDA bulbs to illuminate their clocks. I bought 4 dozen of them to keep my clocks bright, although not the same as their Christmas bulbs.
  8. They are art deco, congratulations on your rickshaw set.
  9. Phil, There are no records from GE indicating how many were made in Jim Linz's book "Electrifying Time: Telechron and GE clocks, 1925 - 1955" (The Telechron and GE Bible). It was a perk, but to get o...
  10. My mom had one of these, great to see one again.
  11. valentino97, The clock case is not Bakelite, I should have included that it was made from green and black onyx. I changed the description to reflect that. Thanks for letting me know.
  12. Phil, I remember these horse clocks growing up. I have a clock with a small horse and the clock face in the center of a horseshoe. Russ
  13. Chadakoin, Does your Teleometer have a number embossed on the bottom of the clock. Mine has 955, which I assume could be the model number, the number of the clock when it was manufactured, or for Se...
  14. Thanks Chadakion for the informative update. I updated the story of the numechron to reflect your information.
  15. Phil, I know he was married and had one son Anthony Jr. He made it into one movie in a bit part, the movie was "In Praise of the of the American Woman" in 1933, you can still order it on Amazon. He ...
  16. Hirsch usually did a lamp or a clock to go with these, I have a pirate set of a lamp, clock, and one bookend, and the lady in red clock has garnitures that I have seen and am trying to get my hand on,...
  17. They were made by the J B Hirsch foundry in the mid to late 20's. I also have a few of their items. Nice collection of them, love the variety. Russ
  18. Thanks for all the loves, I am currently tacking down the Nudeleafs and Duets portfolios that Tony did. If you are interested in finding out more about Tony and his career check out this book at Amazo...
  19. There are other clocks in this catalog that were attributed to KEM Weber, the Arlington, the New Yorker, practically every cyclometer in this catalog. All designed by Paul Ferher .
  20. Have one just like it. Great little clocks.
  21. The face and hands are what is called ivorine and not ivory. It's an artificial Ivory.
  22. Here is the link to my clock on Collector's Weekly. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/73898-1925-j-b-hirsch-sophisticated-lady-clock?in=user
  23. Check out my collection to see her. The garnitures are located at the link below. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=jb+hirsch+bookends&start=82&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbo=d&biw=1093&bih=440&tbm=isch&tbnid=z2i...
  24. I have the clock that goes with this lamp, and I know there are also bookends or garnitures for it. The bookends show the lady seated as does my clock, they are from 1925 and are rare, they were made...
  25. slimdog, Mine uses two clear 4 watt standard night light bulbs the same size as one of the old christmas tree lights. Russ
  26. Look for 2 crossed arrows like those used in archery, they should be on the back of the movement. I think this is an HAC clock Hamburg American Company from the face of the clock. It probably dates ...
  27. Sushi, Thanks for the date update, I was going by what the vendor said on the post when I bought it. Russ
  28. nsvmom, I know it, the Family Place is a re-sale shop that benefits battered women and their children.
  29. Thanks Bellin68, currently the clock isn't swinging, the cat thought it was a toy, and really messed up the suspension spring.
  30. Thanks Bellin68
  31. It looks German, from about the 1890-1910. I have one similar to it except for some ornamentation on top and mine is marke Mauthe, are there any markings on the movement?
  32. Bellin68, I flipped when I saw it also Russ
  33. Just bought a Barr Manufacturing one like this, the only difference is the numerals on mine are black against a white background. Still runs beautifully, had to replace the cord. Russ
  34. Marc, So sorry I got your name wrong. Russ
  35. Marcus, The glass is clear the bulb is blue, but it looks green in the pictures. Russ
  36. Scandinavian Pieces, so do I.
  37. Thanks
  38. The pattern on the glass is so cool at night when the light hits it. Russ
  39. Is this the 5 inch model or the 3 inch model? The reason I ask is that both of my boxes have "Mystery Clock" on the outside of the box. If it is a 3 incher it is rarer than the 5 inch ones. I have t...
  40. I think it is neat.
  41. It does look like a Nefer-Temu Pharaoh Hound, the numerals on the face of the clock look very Egyptian. Thanks I corrected the title and post.
  42. A little bit of triva about the flying red horse on Mobil stations and products is not pegasus, it is "Mobilus". Magnolia Petrolium designed the logo, and it sits on top of the Magnolia building in d...
  43. About $75-80, you can still get rotor for them it the current one ever goes out. It will be rebuilt, but they run great, I replaced a number of them in my Telechrons. Russ
  44. Chadakoin is right about the rotor number, later on it would have probably been labeled 371M1 following the rest of telechrons labeling format.
  45. I believe I paid $50 or $60 for this clock and it garnitures. I know it was under $100. Some of them can get pretty pricey. This set wasn't. The first set I bought I got for $25, just have to hunt...
  46. Thanks roadtrain, I try, Just bought a Sessions clock to repair and get running.
  47. By sight front and back it appears to be a Model 371 or "Auburn" in what they term as chinese red. It was produced between 1929-30, 2,311 of them were sold I do not know why it is labeled M1. These ...
  48. What is the model number on this clock, all I could make out is M1. Thanks Russ
  49. I have one just like it. Russ
  50. I just found your post, Wow and thanks a lot, I had to dowload the patent and the drawings. I am still however missing the escutcheon from the front.
