Recently offered this sealed power clock.i do have one,and the obvious difference makes me wonder about this one.also the numbers look kind of like the older coca cola clocks


The body is good,but all of the originals I have seen have the lady's feet at 7 o'clock,and her hair at 11. Here's mine, a known original
.even their other advertising shows her tilted up as on my clock. Since many sets of eyes may see other things,I am looking for opinions as to original or not.


Looking for gas,oil related clocks,especially neon and spinners .clock repair available. Mick

What is the red arrow at 11 o'clock? Looks like it covers part of the number....you know that I'm no clock expert, but it looks completely outta whack compared to the one you have....

This is what I'm picking up.
The graphic is the same but yours has better color.
The clock hands come out right at the small of her back on both and it looks like at the same place.
The clock Hands are the same on both minus the arrow end on the second hand of the one.
Numbers are different.
In my opinion
They both look like originals just from different manufactures or if they are the same manufacturer, maybe they are different years of when made or the one could be a factory second.
JM2C Good luck!!

Mick Numbering is suspicious. Poor spacing/placement on numbers 10 and 11 Also location of number 8 vs 4 and 11 vs 1 do not look to be on same plane. Notice how exact the locations of all numbers are on your original clock.

I don't think I've seen the gal at that angle on any sign or clock

And 6/12. The one with the plastic face is a real clock,I believe,it is exactly like my original.all others I have seen have been like these.(and just to be clear,I consider the inner glass to be the face.) besides the obvious things though,the ladies all seem very close

Her hair, arm and the curves of her legs don`t flow as smoothly on the clock in question.

Mick, Compare the reverse of the glass to known repros and originals. The process is different. Easily seen.
