Before modern advertising companies would deploy the use of signs and in this case clocks. I remember as a kid going into a soda shop and seeing the Pepsi Cola clock on the wall. Ya I know I’m showing my age a bit. Whether your an avid collector or would just like to have a piece of history hanging on the wall a vintage Pepsi Cola clock will add to any decor.

There is approximately 150 vintage clock designs. The first design was the Ball Clock 4755. All George Nelson clocks were electric. The George Nelson design was discontinued in the 1980’s but Vitra picked the line up in the 90’s.
The original George Nelson designs were given numbers by Howard Miller rather than names. The famous Sunflower clock was sold by Howard Miller as Clock 2261 and the Ball Clock was Clock 4755. Most of the clocks were sold with a variety of different colors. The Sunflower clock was sold in three different colors and the Ball clock was sold in six different colors.
These retro vintage George Nelson design clocks are still very sought after even today. They make a great gift or perfect for the collector.

Seth Thomas started in the clock business in 1807, working for a clock maker by the name of Eli Terry. Seth Thomas bought Eli’s clock business in 1810 but sold his partnership and moved to Plymouth Hollow, CT in 1812 to start a factory to manufacture metal movement clocks. After the death of Thomas in 1859 Plymouth Hollow was renamed to Thomaston in honor of Seth Thomas in 1875.

The Seth Thomas Clock Company was officially incorporated in 1853. Seth Thomas produces many styles of clocks such as mantel clocks, wall clocks, table top clocks, indoor outdoor clocks, anniversary clocks, furniture clocks and home decor themed clocks.
