General Electric-Telechron “Monitor Top” refrigerator electric
clock, 1928-1931. Only made for a few years and modeled after the General Electric all-steel refrigerator, nicknamed the “Monitor
Top” because the refrigerator compressor on top resembled the the Civil War ironclad ship named the Monitor. This is the earlier
of two models at 8.75 inches tall and the heavy metal case has been professionally repainted. The dial glass is convex, the
hands and dial original with the Telechron name. The dot below the 12 will show a red color if the power has failed; you reset
it to white with a stem in the back (the knob is missing). The red dot told you the time was incorrect. The clock is running
quietly, and the cord is good; I did not inspect the motor. These clocks were not sold but were given away by GE appliance retailers. $100-$250.
