Lot of $$$ for a fantasy clock. Beer / cash register clock.

Whatever, it was about as neat as they come!

NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I WOULD DEF BE FOOLED NOT HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT!

a total fantasy clock.....take a $75 clock body, $25 in vinyl & then you got a $450 clock ??......would'nt be so bad if the ebay seller had represented it that way, but no, the same old story, it came from my fathers collection....

Like I said, "Whatever, it was about as neat as they come!". Perhaps his dad made this, and this is how he found it???

thats your opinion, i & others may feel differently......imho i have seen much neater clocks than this & this thing in my opionion does even count

What is an "imho" ???????? Sounds like a condition that needs treated.

i guess you would know, you sure have a strong case of it............fiqure it out

WOW, in my honest opinion I was just joking with you. Take a chil pill..... Opinions are like (well you know what). You have one, and I have one. That's what makes the world spin.

whatever , i was just joking too.....i'll go ahead & take a chill pill, i think you better have one also

anybody got pics of an original clock-with non Mobil artwork?

IMHO = IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!

Here is a photo of a simliar, un-restored original.

By looking at the rather generic Mobil artwork with no dealer info listed, I would think someone did redo this one (as eveyone does with plain Pam clocks.)

But what gave it away as a redo??

for me it was never seeing one in the past 20 years that i have been collecting neon & other types of advertsing clocks......I know i surely have not seen everything out there however you get a feel after awhile.......i would never say 100% this is fantasy,but once you get it in your hands you can tell.....it could be silk screened, but i would be willing to bet its vinyl & they would not be using this in the 40's,50's & 60's.........not only does the color look wrong in the blue, the border of the shield does not look right & the thickness of the lines are different ....the bottom line looks thinner than the rest of the lines.........Buyer Beware

this early of a clock with the high end deco look it more than likely would of been a reverse painted logo that clock was 100% original with a simple vinyl sticker on it probably printed on his own computer i have had similar coca cola clocks and i believe that mobil could afford a little more than a sticker for their dealers he might as well printed a JUNK sticker and stuck it on the clock and then it would have been a JUNK DEALER advertisment for what it was when i saw it i got a good laugh, i have seen so many of these clocks out there all types all kinds
