I figured something needed to go on top of the 1935 General Electric A67 Radio I just bought and overhauled, so looked for a time-period piece. What do you guys think? To me, it just screams ART-DECO

cop414 · 16 March 2016, 05:15 AM

Paul, that is absolutely perfect!

I guess you can now say that you have a 1930's clock radio!

BBL · 16 March 2016, 05:19 AM

I love that clock - Arabic numbers are my favorite!
Great artifact shopping there!

OK!!!!!!!!! I am OFICIALLY... A DORKLEHEAD!!!!!!!

I just looked up the serial number from inside the box.... Manufactured in....

1951

I have to replace it... I really want this room to be authentic 1930s.

Anyone interested in a (free) electric clock from 1951?

You guys have a GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!

OK, getting shipped out tomorrow to Sweden. Let's see if Jocke doesn't see this thread how surprised he will be

sea-dweller · 16 March 2016, 01:45 PM

It's very cool!

Really cool, Paul. You've got some good polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride (Bakelite) going on.

Rock · 16 March 2016, 10:34 PM

Don't send it to Jocke - start a 1950's room!

AzPaul · 16 March 2016, 10:42 PM

You really should keep it till you find a replacement.
It'll look cool in the meantime.

Rocky, how big do you think my place is?

I am afraid I don't have a mansion like yours.

Agreed Paul, last night I shopped on a couple antique sites and purchased two AUTHENTIC 1930s electric clocks, they both looked so good I couldn't decide which one so got the two of them and will decide when they arrive.

Anybody want the 1950s clock? I really don't have a place for it and will send it to anyone that can use it.

AzPaul · 17 March 2016, 03:44 AM

I have a modest, yet very cool looking little deco clock in my study
It's not period authentic (runs on batteries, actually) but adds a ton of style to the room
Love it

That's very cool. When I get the two I purchased, I'll do a poll on here to help me decide which one looks better.

SearChart · 17 March 2016, 04:02 AM

Does it have to be 1930's? I mean, the clock and radio go together very well IMO.

AK797 · 17 March 2016, 04:57 AM

Nice Deco look, some Goldscheiders and Lencis will complete the look.
