When was the last time you saw this clock from AP... Advertising Products, Inc. out of Cincinnati?  Produced in 1953, this is actually the earliest version of the Pepsi Cola clocks authorized to AP for production.  It pre-dates the production of their much desired full "Double Bubble" clocks, however... This one has a full Outer Bubble Lens with the White border band and the numbers as you can see in the pictures.   The face is the Red, White and Blue Pepsi Logo adopted in 1950 for patriotic reasons.  It is a single dot (also adopted in 1950) Enameled Metal Plate situated in the center so as to allow the lighting from the bulbs to illuminate the whole clock properly.
see the pictures.
Very bright colors, and looks great lit or unlit.  Still, this clock looks so much better in person.  And considering the rarity of this Pre-Double Bubble version (as well as, it's the very first authorized Pepsi Cola Clock produced by Advertising Products of Cincinnati) Dated August 23. 1953 (see pictures); this will be one of the highlights of any collection.
Condition:
When acquired...
This clock required thorough cleaning, which was performed very meticulously... It now looks spectacular, and rest assured...
everything
on this clock is
original period
,
not reproduction!  The case has some natural wear as can be seen in the pictures.  The Glass and Face are 100% original and in fantastic condition (this came from a special serious collection, which was just sold a few days ago... I was lucky to get the 2 clocks I acquired).  The motor did not function when I acquired this clock, therefore it has been replaced,
BUT...
with an original period age New Old Stock Synchron Hansen Unit.  Now this clock can live for another 70 years or so without worry.  Rear set movement for hand setting, requires to pivot the back plate for access.  see pictures.
