Title: Pepsi Clock Post by: Ken R on October 01, 2011, 01:11:05 pm This clock needs just a tad bit of attention with the hands, but the movement does still work. Any ideas on its age or value?? Thanks.
Title: Re: Pepsi Clock Post by: davethebirdman on October 01, 2011, 01:31:02 pm Lots written about clocks here too.. Its a double dot so if real and not repro it would be pre 1952. These are always availbel on ebay and that would be the best place for price. Title: Re: Pepsi Clock Post by: Ken R on October 01, 2011, 01:44:14 pm Am pretty certain that it is an original and not a repro. Heavy glass face and beautiful art. Back is like a fiberous board rather than plastic as I would expect a repro to be made of. I have pics of backside too if anyone wishes to see that.

Search the archive here it was discussed only a little while ago. Title: Re: Pepsi Clock Post by: Ken R on October 01, 2011, 02:14:05 pm Thanks. Will do.
Title: Re: Pepsi Clock Post by: Kilroy on October 01, 2011, 06:44:18 pm The back of the glass will be rough if it's original, not baby behind smooth. The Mfg name will be on the edge, approx between the 5 and 6 , maybe the 6 and 7, mine is still in storage.
Also look for waviness and bubbles in the clear glass. Title: Re: Pepsi Clock Post by: cokecolaman on October 01, 2011, 06:46:49 pm Good info. Kilroy! I'm always looking at clocks and I don't know much about them.
Title: Re: Pepsi Clock Post by: Ken R on October 01, 2011, 07:08:08 pm In the pictures I have, I can make out "Pepsi-Cola" right under the 6-o'clock position, but can't see anything else because of the angle the photo was taken. On the back of it, it says "Telechron, CAT No. 6" on a label that is cracked with age and deteriorating, but still readable...for the most part. Not sure about the glass part. Does that information help at all?
