This clock was in beautiful as-new condition, apparently unused. Even so, a clock needs some attention after sixty years.

I disassembled the clock, carefully setting the glass aside to be washed and polished with a soft cloth. While everything was mostly in excellent condition, there was rust inside the motor housing, not at all unexpected.

I scrubbed the rust away with fine steel wool, leaving nothing loose to get into the clockworks. The metal retains fine pitting where the rust was.

The motor was in excellent shape, perfectly clean and all parts as new. All I did to it was apply a little lubricant to the rotor pinion and a couple of other gears.

The parts of the clock, ready for reassembly. It can be tricky fitting the motor back into the housing with the mounting bolts aligned, as the wire caps get in the way.

The motor back in place with the silver foil dial backing on the front, and the glass rubber cushion inserts in place. The light comes through the slot to provide edge lighting to the glass.

The original working bulb in base of the clock. These can be replaced with nightlight bulbs.

The value of these clocks is largely affected by paint condtion and condition and presence of the four rubber feet on the base. This original paint has a few very minor chips and some sort of spot on the back, and the four rubber feet are in excellent original condition. The paint is a rich gold with a tiny metallic flake, I think. I have seen these effectively repainted but don't care to try it myself.
