    Description

    I own an advertising specialty company - now in our 43rd year I am happy to report - and worked in the industry for many years prior to establishing my own firm.   Over the years we produced many unusual advertising items and collected a wide array of specialty samples.   We are now in semi-retirement and offering much of that collection on eBay.
    A company called World Wide Art Studios, located in Tennessee, was and still is one of our better suppliers of fine porcelain decorated gifts.   They are craftsmen in kiln fired pieces.
    While searching through an old sample box I happened upon this beautiful commemorative coin clock from 1987.   What World Wide did, was to kiln fire on a piece if black glazed ceramic tile a design featuring the First Legally Minted Coins in the United States of America.   It is magnificently done in gold, silver and copper embossing, and is most striking!
    The tile is 4.25" square and trimmed in a gold tone metal frame.   A quality quartz movement is added - with gold hands - and then stand mounted.   The clock requires a AA battery, and a new Duracell is included so the recipient is ready to go.
    This sample is still in it's original factory two piece gold-top gift box, and contains two copies of the romance card explaining what the coins represent - and two copies of the factory sales brochure from 1987, when this clock was made and introduced.
    In 1987 this fine clock sold for .95 in quantities of 12 units.
    This sample has been stored in a sealed container in one of our sample rooms, and apparently never shown, and certainly never used or displayed.   I ran it for the day, and it keeps perfect time.
    Although this sample is 35+ years old, it is in remarkable virtually as new condition.
    It will be expertly packaged to guarantee safe arrival.
    An excellent gift for a numismatist, or just for a most decorative desk time piece.
    I don't know how many of these were produced so long ago, but I would think not many are available, especially in new condition.    In a search of the internet, I can find no other such clocks.   A very rare find for sure.
