I picked up an old wall clock at a thrift store today. It's a General Electric, plastic housing. However, the plastic surrounding the clock face is made to look like pastel tiling-something I've never seen on a clock before. I've seen pastel tiles in houses built in the 60s, and I've always called it 'psychedelic tiling' because of the 60s association and the general effect. How old is this clock? Any guesses?

Wouldn't care to guess without seeing it. If you can get to the motor, you'll find a patent number. The latest (largest) number, if there are multiples, may help date it somewhat, although a patent motor may be used for a number of years beyond the original patent date. You might find a date stamped in ink on the motor, and that would be pretty close to the year of manufacture.

They were quite common in the 60's and my Mom had one hanging on the wall...
Have fun, Michele

For some reason, this answer made me laugh....hard, (now customers who actually think I'm working on the cumputer, are looking at me strangely again)...... I feel the need to retort.... Yeah......Well, my Mother had a Philco....... It was lime green, bakelite, and never worked properly. She got it with Green Stamps in 1957 or 58.....not sure which. Lois E.

I'm glad I made you laugh, even if it took me a week to get back here! The family came down (his and mine) last week and it's been DisneyWorld, Gatorland, the beach, Renningers and walking, walking, walking... I'm just catching up here in ra.
My Mom was a typical middle-class mom with all the trappings of the 50's and 60's in her home. That clock hung right over the high step stool (chair)... you know the kind... two steps and a high vinyl-covered seat and back, where the seat goes up so you can use it as a small ladder??? <grin>
Have fun, Michele
