1959 Westclox Rainbow Electric Wall Clock

My parents Westclox Rainbow Electric Wall Clock that they received as a wedding gift in 1959 still going strong in more or less the same position an impressive 55½ or so years later.

 

The Westclox rainbow clock colour ring seen here in red also came with interchangeable rings in yellow and blue but these have sadly been lost in the intervening years.

 

I've estimated since this clock was installed the second hand has rotated around the face some 29,242,080 times, the minute hand has rotated some 487,368 times and the hour hand has rotated about 40,614 times..

 

Note the 1950s/1960s 'MK Electric' hardwired socket.
