General Electric Telechron "The Horizon" Model 2H64 Electric Wall Clock 1950s

Listed in the catalog as "Ultra Modern", the Horizon was produced in the mid 1950s. The flared diamond base sports raised ribs that radiate out from the circular dial hub. The clock came in black with gold trim and this white with copper trim. It was advertised as changing the design from horizontal to vertical "with a twist" but it is easier said than done.

This clock was well used for many years. It is in overall good condition but shows cosmetic signs of age and wear. The white case has darkened unevenly with age to different shades of ivory, especially on the back. The copper finish of the hub and rays is mostly intact. The gold rimmed plastic lens is clean, clear and undamaged. The dial and hands are fine, as is the white plastic bezel. The plastic case is undamaged other than some wear at the hanging hole.

The copper H-rotored Telechron motor is in very good condition, clean and keeping time quietly with smooth operation of the brass sweep second hand. A brand new modern off-white cord has been attached at the coil leads.

This clock measures about 13" by 8" and the dial is 3-1/2" in diameter.
