Kitsch...not Kitchen clock
There must be something wrong with me, but I could not pass up this (you fill in the adjective) clock. It has a Lux dial and movement, but, no shock here, I did not find this model in the books.

It seems to have been made as a souvenir of Santa Cruz, California. A close look is not advised, but if one ventured to do so, you would see large gaps with a drop of glue separating the mother of pearl from the wood, and a few pieces in need of alignment.

The back shows it to be a solid block of wood with a hole cut for the movement.

The dial is clearly marked, and Santa Cruz can be seen on the bottom.

Everybody needs one of these!!!

Neat clock Tom, what is the material attached to the wood on the front of the case, looks interesting. Smile
