Vintage Starburst Wall Clock Mid Century Modern MCM Refurbished 20.5" diameter

Description: Vintage Starburst Wall Clock Mid Century Modern MCM Refurbished 20.5 inch diameter Metal frame with 12 solid wood rays alternating with "atomic" styled ball and rod elements. Stylized clock dial marked "Welby" "8-day" and updated with a brand new Takane Quartz movement Tested and working. 20.5 inches diameter tip-to-tip. Takes 1 AA battery - not included Has been completely disassembled and cleaned before reassembly and photography. Wood rays hand rubbed with teak oil. This clock was fitted (November 2024) with a new, USA-manufactured TAKANE Quartz movement. I used the top of the line Takane with an off-on switch and thumb dial for setting the clock's delicate hands without needing to touch them. The new movement runs silently on a single AA battery (not included due to shipping regulations). You can only hear the movement operating by holding your ear next to it. The clock has been thoroughly tested and is in working order, keeps accurate time. Condition notes: This is a vintage clock that has been converted to a new Quartz movement. The metal frame and elements show light toning from exposure and time. The Dial has a few fleck-like losses to the dark chapter ring - quite small, please see photos - and was originally designed for a key-wind 8-day movement and has a light scuffs from key winding near the aperture where the key was originally inserted. That aperture has been backed with a small piece of sheet brass. The key wind aperture and its surround is featured a detail photo for your inspection. Hanging aperture is on the reverse of the round clock frame as shown in the reverse-side views. I photographed this clock out of doors on the shaded garage door on a sunny fall day - the environment accounts forreflections in the brass-tone metal. Shipping details: I am experienced with more than 10 years of stabilizing and packing vintage starburst clocks for safe transit. This clock will ship disassembled (wood rays removed and packaged protectively with the clock frame) and stabilized within a sturdy shipping box. Disassembly means a smaller shipping box and savings on shipping. Putting the wood rays back on is very simple, and will take only a minute or two to do -- no tools are required.The wooden rays mount on the metal hub just by slipping them over short metal spokes (one for each wood ray) - the spokes fit into an aperture in the wood rays at their widest point. I generally need a bit longer handling time to build the custom-made inner stabilization package for such clocks, and generally ship on or within 5 days. If you need it shipped faster, please contact me before purchase so we can discuss arrangements. SHIPPING Details: This clock will ship disassembled as described above. Shipping is calculated by ebay from my southeast Pennsylvania 19363 zip code to the buyer's based on the package size and weight. These starburst clocks when packed securely generally run between 8 and 10 pounds in the carton ready to go, complete with the custom constructed inner stabilization system. Offering UPS GROUND and UPS GROUND SAVER options for shipping - one may have a lower shipping rate to your zip code than the other, please take a look and choose the best option for your location. UPS GROUND SAVER seems to have the lower shipping rate for West Coast addresses. If you need a different shipping service or time frame for this item, please message me prior to purchase so we can discuss. Thank you for your interest in this listing.
