2H48 The Ceramic
New, exclusive ceramic clock designed for General Electric by Russel Wright, famous industrial designer. Featuring soft lines and soft colors, this brilliant clock can grace any room. Four decorator colors: golden spice, meadow green, coral sand, or charcoal. Dial, raised numerals, and case molded as one unit. Height and width, 7 3/4 inches; depth, 2 3/4 inches.
Designed
and signed by Russell
Wright himself. Not his best work by a longshot but a very popular
model. I believe THIS was the kind of clock Telechron was trying
for with the Designer Line
Series. Unfortunately, none of them were met as warmly by the
public as the Ceramic. Its very reasonable $9 price didn't
hurt either. Incedentally, this was the
ONLY G.E. or Telechron
clock designed by Mr. Wright. I heard it from more than one Telechron
employee that many of these cases were spirited home from the factory to
become ashtrays.
