Title: 1930's Reproduction National Clock Housing
Post by: Jim on February 02, 2025, 07:00:01 am
Hello All,

Just sharing a project that been a long time coming!

Several years back I acquired original literature regarding late 1930's National Candy & Cigarette Vendors. Inside the pages, I saw the optional clock assembly mounted atop a couple of cigarette vendors. I then began researching which Telechron clock was used and began to purchase them when I could find them, not many pop up! I then created detailed measurements from both the actual clock, an actual cigarette machine while referencing the scaled images in the literature so that I could draw a very close duplicate in AutoCad.  Now that Covid days are behind us, I still had a problem locating someone that could/would take on the metal fabrication project...
For the sake of brevity, here is the fruit of my labor!
I had extras fabricated just in case someone may need/want one, so just ask... I'll sell them with/without an original Telechron clock.
