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 Flores

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...

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