The Clock Equivalent of a Blue 302? - Telechron 3F53 "Daphne" Clock

[LarryInMichigan]

Last week, I bought a clear catalin Telechron 3F53 "Daphne" clock at the flea market.  I searched online, but could not find a single picture of an actual clock like it.  I was told that the clear version of this model is very rare, so I listed it on ebay hoping to help pay for some of my purchases.  Has anyone here seen a clock like this?

Never seen the like.  It sure is nice!

It will really be nice if it goes for a blue 302 price.  This clock was sitting in a box of stuff at the flea market.  I saw it there months ago, but passed on it because of the crack.  This time, I decided to take a chance on it.

I lost count of my Telechrons, not to mention Hammonds, Westclox/Seth Thomas, Pennwoods, and others.

They were probably designed around the same time, but mine fits better on the dresser

Isn't that a TARDIS?

[david@london]

The clear catalin Telechron just sold for $483 to a serious clock collector.  That's not quite blue 302 range, but it's not bad for an $8 investment.
