This particular clock was used only for two days as a demo and then was packed away in its original packing and has remained in the attic all of these years. I plugged it in to see if the clock still worked after lying unused for so long. The neon features immediately lit up brightly, the second hand started moving around the face of the clock, and the advertising cards began to flip over, one at a time, rotating perfectly. So everything works fine. The only flaw that age has caused is the inside of the neon tubes have some small internal bare spots where it looks as if the lining/coating flaked off in a few places (see close-up photos). There also is a tiny bit of rust on the rod for the flip-cards, but it works just fine and is very quiet when it turns. It comes with 5 plain black flip-cards and one that was hand-painted with actual advertisements on both sides by a commercial artist in New Hampshire. The clock is large, nearly two feet in length and a foot tall, weighing over 20 lbs. It is meant to sit on a countertop, table or shelf. Its official name is an “Action Ad” clock and was distributed by the Electric Ad Clock Company in Chicago. The clock number is 10-5902. Thank you for looking!

THESE ARE FLIP OVER MESSAGE ADVERTISING CLOCKS THAT ARE RUN BY A COUPLE OF CLOCK MOTORS. ONE FOR THE FLIP MESSAGES, AND ONE FOR THE CLOCK. THESE SIGN/CLOCKS WERE USED IN CAFE’S, DINERS, SHOPS, AND GARAGES TO ADVERTISE LOCAL ESTABLISHMENTS AND BUSINESSES. FEW SURVIVED OVER THE YEARS AND THOSE THAT DID, HAD THE NEON BROKEN OR THE AD CARDS WERE MISSING OR DID NOT FLIP OR WORK ANYMORE. THIS ONE KEEPS GOOD TIME, THE SECOND HAND HAS SOME RED PAINT FLAKING OFF. THE NUMBERS ON THE CLOCK ARE BACK PAINTED ON THE GLASS AND ARE FLAKING OFF SOME ALSO AS SEEN IN PHOTOS. THE BACK PANEL PAPER INFO SHEET IS ALSO STILL ON THE BACK AS SEEN. THIS SIGN DOES NOT HUM LOUD LIKE OTHERS HAVE A TENDENCY TO DO.

IT IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AT LEAST BACK IN THE 50’S, BUT EXACT DATE IS NOT KNOWN. NEON IS BLUISH COLOR AND IS VERY BRIGHT.
