Viking "Moonglow" Clocks |
||
The Viking
"Moonglow" clock was introduced by the Viking Products
Corporation of New York, NY in 1934. The vertical glass pane was
lit from below by a 7 1/2 watt incandescent bulb. The grainy
pattern in the center of the face reflected the light, and the overall
effect in a darkened room was meant to resemble the gentle glow of a full moon.
This illusion vanished quickly when the jarring raucous buzz of the
alarm brought the sleeper back to ugly reality. The base was
available in chrome or a gold finish, and there were two face
variations. The movement was made by Hammond. This clock was covered by design patent 95161 issued on April 9, 1935. |
