eBay Nice 1960's "DRINK COCA-COLA" Light Up Domed Glass ClockApprox: 16" H x 13" W x 4" D, 6 lbs, Very Solid & Works GreatSwihart Products, Elwood INUS SHIPPING ONLY due to recent shipping problems Reduced!Great display pop to this vintage domed glass "Coke" beauty! Per our research, this clock was the last Coca Cola clock made by Swihart Products and from what we have found they produced it from late 1960's to 1971. They made this model in both a light up and non lighting version. We obtained from a private collector's estate along with other Coca Cola signs and other. Swihart Products made clocks for Coca Cola from the late 1940's and until 1971. They made clocks for many other business' as well. This still had a tag from where owner purchased clock decades back on the bottom and it is marked 1968, which appears fitting for the time of production and it has an earlier serial number than some we found marked from 1969.This clock is in very good, but not pristine condition as shown in pictures. The case has some general wear and scuffs, but the glass and clock plastic image plate are in great shape with only a few small imperfections. There is some darkening to the image plate from age and a few little dark lines between the 5 & 6 on face as well, but overall has a great look as shown in pictures. The time adjuster knob on bottom also works well. We only gently cleaned the clock and did not try to clean internal parts or rear of the face plate as noted. We ran the clock for several hours and it functioned quite well. It takes a single florescent oval bulb as shown in pictures. Please note: We will ship with the light bulb in place but with soft paper in front and back of bulb to prevent movement, do not plug the clock in or run clock without removing inside paper packing first!!! The rear cover plate comes off by simply slipping it down and then back up to remove, Do this by first moving back panel up slightly until tabs are free from bottom edge, then gently press in the tabs that rest on bottom of plate to allow the cover to slide down past the edge, then once the top of the plate is under the upper edge of opening, you can flip panel back and out. Kind of goes back in with a reverse process of course. Then just very gently remove the soft paper. As a note, these round florescent bulbs are easily found available on eBay or other and made by a number of companies in case you need to replace one. It is a type FC8T9/CW Fluorescent 22W 8", usually from $10 to $20.Please review all pictures taken for your consideration and use zoom feature if needed. We took pictures of all sides and in different light settings to try and capture as best we could. Let us know if you have any questions.We have given all the information we could find on the clock and have tried to describe as best we could for buyers. We have sold lots of vintage Coca Cola collectibles over the years and some of the nicest pieces ever offered on eBay, but we do not consider ourselves experts as the collectible field for Coke is so vast. We have another rare Coca Cola clock listed in our store as well as other vintage Coke related items, please check them out.Please Read: We ship with extreme care and all items are fully insured!
