Streamline-moderne Pennwood clock

Not radio/TV related, but I thought you guys would like to see this really cool Pennwood numechron Tymeter clock. It's called the "Moderne" and is a great example of asymmetrical streamline-moderne art deco. The most suprising thing about it is that although it was produced in the early 1940's, production continued through 1959! This one is dated 1959! What's good about these later ones is that they used a heavily swirled catalin-like main body and colorful numerals unlike the early versions. The case is all tentite and they tend to warp to some degree. This one had a little twisting to the base, but displays very nicely. It's pure eye-candy for sure.
