Seller never mentioned original anywhere in description or title. If you have doubts that might be a clue...

I'm not all that familiar with Sinclair clocks. In my opinion that looks to be a fantasy item.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember all the original Pam clocks having the date.

Not so Rick.some are, some aren't. I have a couple not dated, and a few that are.all are known to be original. Even some repos are dated also.

In general,I'm finding "Must See" is the favored slang for selling non original items. Meaning if you saw it in person & up close,you'd see it's details & realize it was homemade recently or many years ago. JMO..

It has the newer logo at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock positions which came out in 1959 which was when Power-X was replaced by Dino Supreme. If my facts are straight this would be a fantasy clock.
Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.

PCM's guide to gas pump restoration (first edition) on page 186 shows the Sinclair Power X the super fuel globes were used from 1953 to 1959. The new trapazoid logo did come out in 1959 also. Dino Supreme came out in 1962. Also from 1959 - 1962 there were two other Power X globes in use. So while it is possible the clock was made in a logo transition time frame, I would be careful...

...Sinclair logos are off...the name 'Sinclair' is too big...and I've never seen a 'reverse' Sinclair logo...run, don't walk, away from this fake...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
