    This is one of two electric clocks that live in my apartment... I purchased this particular clock probably 10 years ago as a gift for my brother. He was an airplane freak! It was produced by the New Jersey Clock Company ca. 1930-1932. It has a Hammond "spin-start" movement.. spin the airplane's propeller blades to start the time keeping and the propeller continues to turn just like a seconds hand on a clock. Spin the blades backward and the clock keeps time in reverse. The little scene on the front could be attributable to Admiral Byrd's Antarctic expedition 1928-1930 or possibly his flight over the North Pole? The case is in A+ condition.
    Every so often, this model shows up on Ebay and 99% of the time it's non-working or the case is chipped/abused. Also, the case is not Bakelite contrary to what they say when it's up for auction! If you ever want to buy a clock where the cord has been cut, be prepared to not only replace the cord, but repair or REPLACE the movement. See my next posting...

      Just picked one of these up. Working condition but sketchy cord.
