Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Anybody know what type clock case this is?

Not a PAM (don't think). Measures about 14" across.

possibly telecron- looks like a lanshire motor?...

was told it had a gasoline advertising face on it..

can appears too be in xlnt. cond.
has what I think is the better
florescent light...

Many smaller clock companies used this type of canister. One such company was Modern Advertising Clock Company, they were based in St. Louis I believe. I once bought a Hartford Insurance clock that was NOS. The clock paperwork indicated this info. The face was actually made of plastic.

Do you think this will accommodate a PAM clock face being its about 14" round?

I'm not a big fan of how the face sits. It lays on top of the canister and floats. the outer glass lies on top and is supported by the trim ring, but there isn't a lot of pressure put on the face so it can slip around if it is on the small side. Some of the Pam faces are on the small side and thus is too small for the opening and falls in since there isn't a lot of pressure on it.

Just measure it up to see what the actual measurements are. I actually on some faces had to bend the canister in just so it wouldn't slip into the inside of the canister.

Hope this helps.

Looks to be a Swihart body. I've seen a ton of these with either a Coke, or Kendall Oil ad face. Nice pick up.

I have two Pam faces and they both are exactly 14 3/8". What's the measurement on the outer lip? I would think you would want it to be at least 1/8" larger then the face so it's not a tight fit.

Makes sense..the guy I got it from thought it was a Kendall face.

May be for sale after I clean it up a bit.
