When they said, "an exceptional value at only $2.95", brother, they weren't kidding! Shown above in the four available colors. The early ones had chrome-colored (stainless steel) bezels. Ones made during the War were probably painted zinc (please don't hold me to the zinc claim but they were painted in any case.) According to the records we found, this model was never officially discontinued. I like to think that somewhere in Ashland, in a forgotten basement somewhere lie the parts for 10,000 unbuilt Patrons. Nice clock. Apparently Father Telechron thought so too...
