Vintage METAMEC Atomic Eye Shelf/Mantle Clock In Brass With Green Crackle Glaze Finish

This is a beautiful Vintage METAMEC Atomic Eye Shelf/Mantle Clock In Brass With Green Crackle Glaze Finish. Comprising a polished brass surround with wood accents crackle glazed in two shades of green. The paint isn't original but it does suit the clock style!

As with most mechanical clocks of this age, it would probably require a CLA (clean, lube and adjust) service to guarantee accurate time keeping. It gained a few minutes when timed over a 48-hour period.  It has an eight day, 7 jewel movement. The clock does have quite a loud tick!

The casing is in good vintage displayed condition with some pitting and scratching of the brass and blemishes in the wood at the rear.

The face is creamy beige, and has a vintage patina, with the hands and numerals denoted in brass. The clear face cover, (I think its glass), is in good condition. The base of the brass feet have been covered with green baize to prevent scratching.

All in all, a wonderful clock to suit most rooms in the MCM retro home or the office.
