       I've seen pictures of that clock but never realized they were that tall. Very nice acquisition.

Sadly the light fixture is missing but other than that the condition is great. Amazing that plastic that broad survived without cracking. Clock runs great, I am considering installing fluorescent lighting behind it.

Now you need a thirteen foot ball bowler to go with the five foot bowling clock.  I like it.  That's pretty neat.

Any "yellowing" of the white plastic? That usually comes w/age. So this was formerly a light up? Ought to get a 4 ft. shop light in it. Wonder what other sports were depicted. Great find!!

The reason I bought it despite the missing light was the condition of the plastic. It is bright white and crack free after all these years.
