General Electric Refrigerator Clock |
This clock was given away
by GE to buyers of its early 1930's "Monitor Top" electric
refrigerators. Since GE was a part-owner of Telechron, naturally,
Telechron made their clocks.
The clock was housed in a die-cast metal case. It is a heavy clock at just over 5 pounds and it stands about 8 inches high. They are often found with damaged or missing legs, and the paint is rarely intact (the clock shown has been repainted). GE was eager to note a design similarity between their clocks and their refrigerators. The compressor and clock motors were both sealed in oil baths which gave both great longevity. |
