    Here is another General Electric, Machine Age clock in my collection, which I love. This demilune mantle clock measures approximately 16 1/2" x 7 1/2", and it was designed by John P. Rainbault, circa 1930's. It is model number 6H02, and is known as the "Alencon" model.

    It was difficult to photograph because it is made of a semi-transparent rose colored glass with a mirrored pink center. The design in the center has been described as a floral motif, but I think it looks more like waves. The numerals are pure Art Deco.

    This rare clock also comes in a cobalt blue version, and I think there is also a black glass version too.

      If anyone is interested in purchasing one, a cobalt glass version of this clock is up for auction on Ebay (shame it has a chip in the glass though):

      It boggles my mind how a similar cobalt version of this clock with so much damage commanded such a high auction price on Ebay:
