found this at the thrift store for the reasonable price of $5 !!

face is marked BUCHBINDER SERVICE REPAIR- DETROIT MI
clock is made by WARREN TELECHRON- ASHLAND MASS

looks fairly old. maybe 40's-50's?

Great find, I love looking through thrift stores and yard sales. I like the numbers, plain and simple. Not a bad price either.

Reminds me of a garbage dump trip, around 10 years ago. Someone demo'd a school and they tossed around 10-15 clocks from the 50's ?
Just far enough so nobody climbed in the garbage to pull them out.
I was tempted

Nice. Probably a lot better made than the junk of today. Are you going to paint it red or something?

Very cool... I'm sure it's worth ten times what you paid for it.

What's the model number stamped on the back? The photo has a reflection where I can't read it. Probably not newer than 1946, when the company stopped using the "Warren" name and became simply "Telechron."

the spot on the plate for the model# to be stamped was left blank. the red&white sticker on the back has this on the top: W.T.-31-S 10M 9-12-30

i wonder if that means its from 1930? i cant decide if im going to paint it or leave it alone..
