description: A round 22" wall clock. The outer ring of the clock is dedicated to advertising, "Garage - Towing" for this specific clock. A tube of red neon broadcasts a red glow onto the face of the clock. White numerals and hands (which look red due to the red neon) offer contrast from the black background. information: Clocks such as these were originally made to sell merchandise, or to tell a potential passing customer the products or services offered by the specific company. Many times these "clocks were mounted inside storefronts and on exterior facades of virtually every type of business." Davidson Len ,Vintage Neon. Schiffer Publishing, 1999. |
