Collecting Art Deco clocks can be addictive. Since they were mass-produced there are thousands out there in many different styles, so you are sure to find one or more that will fit right in with your decor.\u00a0\u00a0And often they are not that expensive, we’ve paid less than $10.00 for some, but most are in the $25.00 to $50.00 range. First\u00a0a word of advice or warning, vintage\u00a0clocks can often be found in good working order when you purchase them.\u00a0But sometimes the electric motors that run the clocks can burn out and since they are no longer being manufactured, repairs, if it can be fixed<\/em><\/span>, can be expensive and take a really long time.<\/h4>\n

Chris and I are both fond of Art Deco clocks. Chris is the winner of this collecting quest as he has the best clock of our collections, the General Electric, Brenton.\u00a0Manufactured between 1937-1939, with a retail price of $8.95 ($148.00 in 2015). The frosted glass clock face\u00a0sits on a silver painted stepped base, has etched numbers and abstract design that is illuminated from below. This clock is sometimes erroneously attributed to Rockwell Kent, but was actually designed by John Rainbault.<\/h4>\n
