This antique clock model has an interesting history. These GCC Globe clocks were made in 1941 by the Globe Clock Company (many people think the Gilbert Clock Company made them but that is in error) for special sales at the Worlds Fair that year.
The brass and steel 1 day movement inside was made by the Lux Clock Company which was well know for quality clock movements that wind up with a key in those early years. This clock model has a long wire pendulum with a tiny little BOB on the end of it that one can slide up and down to adjust the clock speed. Some folks call these clocks a DOG TAIL WAG as that is what it looks like when it is running. After the clock is wound with the key, just give the tail a wag and the clock starts operating. You simply move the minute hand to set the clock to the correct time. Each winding will operate the clock for about 30 hours.
This clock is quite a conversation piece and a great antique collectible all at the same time. This particular clock is in great operating condition and keeps good time. There are a few paint chips and dings here and there, but in reasonable condition for its age.
The clock measures approximately 10 inches tall by 5 inches wide and 3 inches deep.
