TCM Showed the George Pal 1950 film Destination Moon. The clock on board the rocket appears to be a GE branded clock that is built into the wall panel.  I guess with the clock fixed like that, the tattletale couldn't be reset.  I guess a red dot looked better in a color movie, anyway.

Saw a 5F50 this AM in Remember? with Greer Garson and Robert Taylor.  (I don't have Tivo so no screen cap.)

I bet it's the same Mirage that was in Double Wedding! 

Young Lew Ayres looks like Jack Lemon.  He should have gotten the girl.

 Not an actual sighting but back in March I was approached by a HBO film set director to sell a 1F308 which I had for sale on Ebay and at a nice profit for a change.  The miniseries took place in the 30s was supposed to be in NYC.  I do not remember much more than that about the show,

OK, we have one of Boinker's "fake" Telechron banjos here...

This is not about a Telechron but about another fairly rare electric clock.  In "Sky Giant" of 1938 with Joan Fontaine, Richard Dix and Chester Morris, one of the Herman Miller clocks that was supposedly exhibited at a World's Fair, and is today very valuable, is seen several times in the Colonel's office.   Also it's interesting to see the young Joan Fontaine.

From "A Step Saving Kitchen 1949" documentary.  Interesting film.   You can see how important onions and potatoes were.  We had meat and potatoes 3 or 4 nights a week when I was a kid. 

See Chef put to work at 9:00 minutes.  I want one of those stoves with the boiler!

I have that model of Admiral radio (at 03:44) in brown bakelite, and I also have a Western Electric Spacesaver phone like that.

I would lose my mind living in such an insanely organized house  @@!

On YouTube there is a very long interview of the historian Shelby Foote.  After the first few minutes there is an electric clock on a mantel behind him, a little blurry but it looks like a Telechron.

That reminds me... blink and you'll miss it, but about the 17:20 mark in this one, over Robert Zemeckis' shoulder that sure looks like a Modernique to me:

Just finished watching the 1953 sci-fi flick "Invaders From Mars". In the parent's bedroom there's what appears to be a 4H95 Kendall on the table between their beds.
