Twice a minute, a chime signals change...

Those are great clocks Lindell! A great example of the changing advertising clocks. The one seen most often, although not that often, is the Sydney, with three rotating drums at the bottom.

Lindell, Tom,
I like much the showing of this clock, chiming and changing the ad. I see that the pictures come from a mart, could you give an estimate of the price it can fetch?

Thanks, regards

Carlos,
That is a good question. I don't know who made the clock, but I will try to track down the maker, and maybe a price. Maybe someone out there saw it and noticed the price, or knows what they go for.

It's a Seth Thomas guys! The ad pages are changed by two number 10 movements.
Look carefully at the second image above for the two arbors on the right side.

Here's a view of this neat clock with the door open...

Price of this interesting clock at Dearborn was $4,500.00

That clock is so unusual, I sure hope others find it interesting as I do! Scroll to the top, check all the images closely.

Thanks for the aditional pictures, for the explantion on the ad clock works and for getting the price.
It is a very interesting and very well preserved clock (seems), that is why I liked first, now about that price...
