Electric Ad Clock Company Clocks |
|
These are the clocks that have motorized ads in them. They are noisy, and the ad "cards" can be quite fragile.

This is a great old style of advertising clock, which is often refered to as a "Cathedral" clock. They have a drum in the lower "window" that displays six different advertisements. The drum is run off the clock motor through mechanical levers and gears. It rotates once every ten seconds. | ||

Here's another fine example, this time in red neon. These clocks were very noisy, obviously meant to be displayed in a busy diner where noise wasn't a problem. | ||

OK, these "Flipper" clocks are common. I've often seen these offered for sale as a "salesman's sample" with a travel case. Blues neon is the more common color. Sometimes the clock is on the right... | ||

...and sometimes the clock is on the left. Note that this one has a cover on the advertising side, so the flip cards would only show in the bottom of the advertising frame (and you would only need half of the advertising spaces filled). | ||
