Mystery clock; Jefferson Golden Hour

(re-post)

Doing research on the treasures I unearth on my garage sale archeological digs is an exciting aspect of the whole adventure.  Good ol' Google!

Jefferson Golden Hour is on the bottom so I knew what to look for and got a wealth of information about history and how it works (the glass revolves!) and where to look for the date it was made (mid-century modern is appealing to me more and more).

The transparency of it is a delight as well as the 'no hands' hands which seem to float.

I don't know if it works and next is to google and find out how to set it.  Some sites suggest parts are still available.

One thing I discovered about its provenance is that it was owned by a lovely lady who I got to know over the years by chatting with her at many garage sales and which I now acquired at a garage sale of her own.
