Telechron
did have a "Satellite"--only it wasn't the 2H39.
Let's get one thing out of the way: This clock should look like the
one in the middle (or like the one on the left if you're a dog).
The problem with these clocks is that the silvering in the middle is worn
to some degreee in virtually every example you see. You'll often
see these clocks modified in all kinds of weird ways. Someone took extraordinary
measures to improve the looks of the Satellite up there on the right.
The reverse-painted, southwestern-themed result is at least as nice as
the original. (Maybe that's that "Art Nuevo" I keep hearing about
on Ebay.) I won't even guess what happened to the white bakelite
"standard".
