<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4483444, member: 84"]I found this yesterday at a thrift store. I've been able to find 1 other example (in iCollector) that said it is a 1950's Pepsi wall clock/sign, but I haven't been able to find another - being that it looks like it was a commercial clock for a business & supplied by Pepsi, shouldn't there be more around?</p><p>I was able to buy this for only $20(!) because it's missing the actual clock! And the manager (& me) figured the electric plug was for the missing clock mechanism, and what I was buying was a empty shell - so imagine my surprise when I got it home, plugged it in - and it lit up!</p><p>So since the electric plug makes the piece light up, was the clock mechanism something simple like a battery operated clock?</p><p>Any idea what the actual mechanism was and where I can get a one to complete the piece back to original? Or can I just go to Michael's and buy a battery operated clock mechanism & hands?</p><p>Any idea where this was used? (my 1st thought was a restaurant, but I think we had something like it in the concession stand of my dad's movie theater when I was a kid!)</p><p>Thank you for any help!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]389773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389777[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4483444, member: 84"]I found this yesterday at a thrift store. I've been able to find 1 other example (in iCollector) that said it is a 1950's Pepsi wall clock/sign, but I haven't been able to find another - being that it looks like it was a commercial clock for a business & supplied by Pepsi, shouldn't there be more around? I was able to buy this for only $20(!) because it's missing the actual clock! And the manager (& me) figured the electric plug was for the missing clock mechanism, and what I was buying was a empty shell - so imagine my surprise when I got it home, plugged it in - and it lit up! So since the electric plug makes the piece light up, was the clock mechanism something simple like a battery operated clock? Any idea what the actual mechanism was and where I can get a one to complete the piece back to original? Or can I just go to Michael's and buy a battery operated clock mechanism & hands? Any idea where this was used? (my 1st thought was a restaurant, but I think we had something like it in the concession stand of my dad's movie theater when I was a kid!) Thank you for any help!
