So the back and case of this look really good to my novice eyes, but the face? Well I just don't know. No writing along bottom scares me. Any help and value if real greatly appreciated.

Sure looks like the new replacement face such as Wayne's Neon sells.

Isn't that clock larger than a regular size Pam clock? I think I've seen a real one like this. Maybe 18"?

It's 20" according to seller. Which actually sounds pretty cool!! Does that make a difference as to it being real or not?

Sounds like the same one I looked at which I thought was real. I'm just not sure if they repop something that size.

I think the hands are wrong ..... should be outline not solid.
At least that's what Wayne taught me a few years back.

The clock, as well as the hands are exactly like the one I own, which I know to be right. IMO, these bigger backlit clocks are a better investment than the heavily popped 15" ones.

I joined this web site just to answer this question. This clock is definitely not real. It's in a PAM case and the face is a Tel-a-sign. The paint diameter is that of 19 inch clock and the case is 21 inches. (There's too much white area outside the numbers.) There is no identification on the glass. It's a fake. The case is real. The face is a poor repop. These fakes have been on eBay for years. If someone else in this post has one just like it, they also have a fake.

Well- I stand corrected.And appolagize if I gave some bogus info My clock is disassembled as I have been at a standstill trying to find the correct Landshire movement to get it moving again. When Vernors guy posted,I dug the face out to compare with Steves picture. I Thank Vernors guy for you astute knowledge of the border which I didnt even notice. I learned something valuable here. The hands, as well as the second hand are the same as mine,though. There is some writing along the top edge as well which I took a photo of but on second thought, am omitting here

Ah those leprechauns are devious little men and they even wink at you! Good lesson to be learned here-I am staying away from clocks!

Thanks for joining the site VernorsGuy...... looking forward to more of your posts, but if this is the only one then it was a very valuable one.

Thanks very much all. And of course our newest member, Vernorsguy. Hey, if you ever need to know anything about oil & gas, you've come to the right place. I see your in Troy. Nice to see another local member. As Huskybob said, I hope to see you around. Feel free to share some of your collection with us if you would. I'm sure it would be cool to see!! BTW, you wouldn't happen to be the Vernor's guy who was on Antiques Roadshow would you?
