Description
A very rare vintage find from Howard Miller! This large metal wall clock was made for schools and warehouses in the 1950s and displays a very imposing and industrial appearance. Possibly designed by George Nelson but I don't have any info for this attribution. This clock has a metal case in a dark brown finish and a plastic cover. It is marked on the backside with the maker's info and model # 629-030. Rare find!
This clock runs on a AA battery. The clock movement is no longer in working condition and will require a new movement. There are many affordable battery-operated clock movements available online.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Clock needs a new battery movement as the current one is not working. Metal case has oxidation in various spots (see photos). Can easily be repainted if desired or use as is. Plastic cover has some scratches (see photos). Clock's face is in excellent condition and looks clean.
