Bought a Jayhawk oils clock
Don't have a picture of it yet and auction house would not allow me to copy theirs but has the same
logo as the oil can below. Prior to the auction I looked & looked everywhere to see what the last one
sold for and could not find one example. If this is the last known example, that was my thinking when
I didn't allow anyone to overbid me. Anyone ever see one of these?
Clock is marked "Warren Telechron Co" which I believe dates it between 1926 & 1943,
It does work but second hand is loose.
Telechron was founded in 1912 by Henry Ellis Warren as the Warren Clock Company in Ashland, MA. The company manufactured electric clocks. The company name changed from to the Warren Telechron Company in 1926. Between 1943 and 1948, it was changed again to Telechron Incorporated. It became a division of General Electric around 1952, and was sold to Timex in 1979.
