Description
A 1950s Gents of Leicester Bakelite cased vintage wall clock showing some ageing. I presume it was made for a business called Merrichest.
The Bakelite case originally showed a lot of age, and I presume it had been neglected for years As a result there was overall oxidisation to the Bakelite’s surface. Some of this has been removed, but I did not want to lose its character. The surface is now a satin look. The dial has barely suffered and looks great. The hands are in pretty good order. The glass is in good order with a few light marks commensurate with its age. A rare piece.
Overall dia. 32cm, depth 8cm.
Fitted with a high quality battery quartz mechanism that is fully guaranteed for twelve months. Requires one AA battery which is supplied with the clock.
