Hey guys,
I'm looking at this clock and was hoping someone could help me out real quick with a rough estimate of where I need to be on it. It's dated November 1956 and everything works as it should. The slightest bit of paint loss near the rear of the pegasus but everything displays very well. I didn't measure it but it looks to be standard back-lit clock size. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure. I think I need to examine it very closely to be 100% sure. Please send to:

I will examine it over the next five or ten years and verify it's authenticity for you! wink

Yep, it is a Pam Clock...says that at the bottom. Thanks guys...it's so nice to get some quick answers like that. I'm just really not a sign or clock guy...but maybe I'm turning in to one!! Watch for it in "for sale" in the next few days if I get it. Thanks again.

Keep in mind that most, if not all, Pam clock faces have been reproduced (including the Pam lettering at the bottom of the face). Many of these new faces have been put in the old cans that have 50's-60's stickers on the back. Best way I know to check for the real thing is to examine/feel the backside of the face. If it feels like the backside of a gas globe lens (kind of like fine sandpaper, it's probably an old one. If it feels smooth as glass, it's a new one. I learned the hard way. Dave
