General Electric Clock - The Hostess model 2H02
The New Hostess by General Electric.
Model 2F02 1934-1941. This basic style had the longest run of any design in the GE/Telechron range. Designed by Edgar Bourquin, it was first introduced in 1930 as the Hostess with model number AB454, a thicker case and a B rotor. In 1934 it was reintroduced as the 2F02 New Hostess with the thinner F rotor and discontinued in 1941 with the outbreak of war. It was re-reintorduced in 1947 as model 2H02 with a plastic back and crystal and remained in production until finally being discontinued in 1952. (info from the net)
Today's estate sale purchase, a bit high at $30.00 but it is in near mint condition. No fading or crack. The light green case sparkels'. The back plate is molded silver plastic. The Red Dot pops up when the power is cut off and it has a new 8 foot long cord. Runs good & whisper quiet..
The clock quit working in 2019
