Just picked up this clock today while out visiting a client, It's a Cleveland Neon Products Coca-Cola Marquee Clock. It lights up with white neon on the inside. it has some fading, but in really good condition. The whole face is plastic and only one small ding in it . the cabinet had been repainted years ago, but overall I'm very happy to finally have found one... and best of all right here in my own home town!!!
If you know anything about Coke Advertising stuff.. You'll know this clock is a very sought after item and I'm glad I could finally find one..

That is a really really nice clock! We had one when I was growing up hanging in our living room up in the peak of the vaulted ceiling. It made a great nightlight.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it.. I'm gonna take it apart for a thourough cleaning, and repaint the can as it was repainted years ago, and I want to take it back to the original Hammer Tone Green it was originally...then gotta finda place to hang it.. it's huge, 36" wide by 30" high... weighs about 20 lbs.
There is one on a ebay live auction in November, will be fun to see what it brings...

That's really cool !  Cool
I had seen one like that in Royal Crown Cola in red and yellow. I really wanted to buy it for my RC Cola collection but it was waaaay outta my price range. $1200 back in the early 1990's.

John,

Without sounding to skeptical, can you verify this is an original CC advertising clock...?
There have been many good reproductions over the years for many of the soda brands...
Very nice Cleveland none the less ! ! !

I'm working on acquiring an old neon clock as we speak... Hopefully, it'll pan out...
