Neon Spinner Clock. Maker marked "Synchron." This beautiful clock features an original face bearing the c. 1939 silhouette girl design and art deco numbers. The sign is illuminated by a neon tube that circles the face and shines through the black reverse-painted glass border of the glass front. CONDITION: This clock is a survivor. It retains its original motor on the back, which still has the Synchron manufacturer tag attached. The front side of the clock also retains original parts that only have minor condition issues. The face shows some minor staining around the numbers, and the silhouette girl shows areas of crazing. The hands of the clock as well as the wire spinner both function, along with the neon tube. The glass front with reverse-painted glass border shows minor paint flaking in a few areas but nothing that detracts from how the item displays. The steel self-framed border that holds the glass front in place is undamaged and does not show oxidation of any kind. A modern power chord has been added for safety. In total, this piece is truly impressive, and is very seldom seen in original and working condition. It would be a focal piece of any collection.
