Beginning in July of 1935 the black faced string wound 30 hour clock mirror was introduced. The mirror glass has a non-silvered area for viewing the clock face. And a white circular wreath with hour markers. The mirror design was changed in November of 1935 to include lines below the wreath and V8 in a red oval at the clock face center as shown below.  These clocks were made by Western Clock Co. of LaSalle, Illinois. The pull fob on the bottom attached to a retractable string for winding. This is an easy way to wind the clock with just a couple pulls. The time set knob location was either above at about 1 o’clock or lower at about 8 o’clock.  Below is the late 1935 clock mirror.  |
