Catalog Description:

C.1925, Pumpkin Advertising Clock for "None Such Mince Meat, Pumpkin and Squash-Like Mother Used to Make", in very good original condition. These promotional clocks were made out of an actual pie pan, with a simple cardboard dial pressed into the lip. The dial is of a large orange pumpkin, and carries the ad in large black letters. The 30 hour back wind movement is a typical Connecticut open spring unit with balance and lever, it is unsigned. For use in stores, they have both a strut for setting the clock on a shelf, or a loop for hanging it on the wall. This is exactly like the example in the American Clock and Watch Museum in Bristol. The dial has been pressed in at the bottom and is loose in the pan, minor losses to print. Still a very hard to find clock in amazingly good condition. Diameter 9.5 inches
