This is a very large, 29" wide x 34" tall x 6" thick, Champion Spark Plug advertising clock that, I'm guessing, is from the mid-1900s. The clock looks great but it does have some mechanical concerns. The electrical wire has been tampered with ( see photo ) and I'm hesitant to plug it in so I don't know if anything runs. Also, t are three small pieces/stubs that project from the face of the clock ( at the 12, 4 and 7 positions ) that at one time did something ( maybe a neon tube ) but are now broken. Other than that, the rod that allows you to adjust the hands ( located by the "G" - see photo ) works fine, t are chains connected to the top that allow this to hang ( it's pretty heavy ), the internal mechanism appears to be original ( see photo for specifics ) and t is no maker's mark. The entire face of the clock is plastic with embossed letters and none of this is damaged. The back is sheet metal with a round section that removes to reveal the clock mechanism ( it mentions " gas tube " so I'm bacK to thinking neon ). This is a good looking item that is also a project if you want it to work, but you don't need to do anything if all you want to do is look at it.
