Bakelite Military Time Clock

[Doug Rose]

I picked up this bakelite Numechron Tymeter at the same flea. Really cleaned up great. Little block rotate to keep the time. Kinda cool with the 24 hour clock....Doug

Made even more collectible now that the military has gone to a 30-hour clock.

That is one classy Art Deco digital clock!!

Very beautiful piece, you're a lucky man

Very nice clock.  it looks like it was made in 1961.  I didn't think that bakelite was being used for things like clocks, radios, etc. that late.  I saw an interesting art deco bakelite clock today at a warehouse junk/garage sale, but the bakelite was badly cracked, so I passed on it.

reminds me of a gas pump. And in the words of Jerry Lewis "I like it,I like it"

Very Nice.

That model was in production for many, many years.  It was also promoted to amateur radio operators as a time reference for log book entries.  I may have some old catalogs or ads here somewhere.

Ok, I get it now, you meant "military time clock" as in "24-hour time clock", not an actual military clock.

I have 4 numechron (tymeter) clocks. I had to stop @ four because they were eating into my phone money.  I do not have any 24 hr ones, however. Nice find!!!

Dan....I have had it plugged in for 4 days, it keeps perfect time, but its getting a little noisier. Can I put a drop of oil in the enclosed motor? This will probably find its way to eBay on Sunday. No more space in the phone room and I have been told in no uncertain terms, the house is full....Doug

Hey Doug, I followed this guy's advice on youtube and all mine run quiet! Put a reserve of $50 on it, you shouldn't sell it for a buck less.

i like this! cool

I agree, it's a very cool clock.  Never ever heard of them, early digital clock eh?

[Dan]

I got my first @ a yard sale for a buck. It is the top one of the two stacked picture. The other one was a goodwill find. The ones that are the most popular are "tv models" like this. They were used on early tv's because they had a light that somehow "brightened" the TV picture (makes no sense to me). I have an art deco earlier one at work which is the real deal (worth 100 plus ) that I found at a flea market. I had to stop after this and stay tracked on phones.
