Jefferson "Golden hour" electric (mystery) clocks

[@larrysue1]

What do you recommend cleaning the gold ring and base with? Thanks

The bases are actually not brass, but cast zinc. The radium on the hands was discontinued about 1965.

Ryan Marsh, for your information, Jefferson clocks were made in Bellwood, Illinois.

Oh OK! I always wondered how that worked. There are two panes of glass AND THEY TURN! The way someone else explained to be I expected the whole thing to turn so that sometimes the 12 will be on the bottom. That didn't make any sense to me and I never saw one upside down. SO now I get it! Mystery Solved.

I *think* there's only one pane of glass that turns once per hour, and gear mechanism in the back that drives the hour hand turn at 1/12 the speed.
