A RARE find for the serious collectorthe Melbourne (model 3H83) is a hard-to-source example that doesnt come up often. Finished in rich butterscotch Catalin (cast phenolic), the most sought-after of the early plastics for its warm marbled glow, it carries unmistakable Art Deco styling and the kind of lines and presence that make these clocks display beautifully. Telechron founded by Henry Warren, the father of the electric clock in Ashland, Massachusetts pioneered the self-starting synchronous motor and produced these clocks for General Electric. Their whimsically named models are among the most collected American electric clocks. Please review the photos closely for condition; sold as-is. Shipping available. Auction estimate: $175$500.
