A Waltham Mantel Clock with Two Sevens on the Dial!
August 2, 2008 . by AdminHere are photos of a Waltham mantel clock, probably from the 1920’s. The size is
- Height: 6 1/2 inches
- Width of base: 12 inches
- Depth of base: 4 inches
The unusual dial has two numeral sevens! In addition to the seven in its correct location, there is a seven where the six should be! The owner is curious about the dial.
I could not find this clock in any of my catalogs. If anyone has a picture of this clock model, does it have the same mistake in the dial? Does anybody have an explanation for this dial?
