508.    $50

Jefferson Electric Co. “Golden Hour”, 1951.  The ever-intriguing archetype mystery clock, 9 inches high with a 7-inch dial.  A very good finish on this clock, with some spotting on the back and a little wear on the top of the ring.  You can’t scrub these clocks too aggressively or you remove the gold finish.  The finish on the hands is a bit rougher than I like.  The clock is dated to November 1951 inside the base; there is the usual red plastic cover on the bottom. It is running and keeping time, but a bit noisy; it quiets down after a while.  The electric cord is old.  $50-$100 on eBay. $55-$100.
