This popular 1940s–50s kitchen clock is in excellent condition, meticulously cleaned and polished to restore its near-new appearance. The ivory body boasts a brilliant glossy shine, with only minor blemishes. The glass is in very good condition, and the bezel remains well-preserved. While the clock face has small marks around the 4 and 5 (as seen in photos), it still displays beautifully. Unlike most clocks of its kind, this antique timepiece has been upgraded—the original noisy electric motor has been replaced with a silent quartz battery movement, eliminating the need for an unsightly cord trailing to a distant outlet. Now, it can be conveniently placed on any wall. The clock retains its original hour and minute hands, along with the time adjustment knob, ensuring it stays true to its vintage character. A ribbon has been installed on the movement for effortless battery replacement—just a slight tug, and the battery pops out. A fresh, high-quality alkaline battery is included. With dimensions of 7 x 7 x 2 inches, this beautiful timepiece adds a touch of nostalgia to any room. According to the 1950 GE sales catalog, this clock was described as "America’s most popular clock." It would make a wonderful gift for someone who fondly remembers seeing one in their childhood home or in other homes during that era. This item is from a non-smoking environment.
