description:  A round 26" wall clock.  The two pieces of neon illuminate this clock, one on top reveals the clock was made for a loan office, while the second tube illuminates the black face of the clock.  White numerals and hands offered contrast from the black background.

information:  Clocks such as these were originally made to sell merchandise, or to tell a potential passing customer the products or services offered by the specific company.  Many times these "clocks were mounted inside storefronts and on exterior facades of virtually every type of business."
