Rare Vintage United Clock Corp Model 84 Ornate Brass Toned Electric Wall Clock
This rare vintage brass electric wall clock was manufactured by United Clock Corporation of Brooklyn, New York, a company celebrated for its creative and decorative timepieces throughout the mid-20th century. Model No. 84 embodies the opulent Hollywood Regency style, featuring intricate scrollwork detailing, a radiant gold-tone brass finish, and an elegant Roman numeral dial protected by a gently convex glass cover.
Dating from the 1950s to 1960s, this ornate wall clock captures the glamour and exuberance of the Hollywood Regency era—where metallic finishes, curving lines, and statement décor were the height of interior design. Its plug-in electric mechanism (115 Volt, 60 Cycle, 2 W) remains intact, with the original cord showing minor tape repair but no exposed wires. Both decorative and functional, it stands as a beautiful display piece and a tangible link to mid-century craftsmanship.
Why It’s Special:
This Model No. 84 design is seldom seen today, making it a rare collectible among United Clock Corp. pieces. While the company produced a wide range of novelty and ship-form clocks, their wall-mounted Hollywood Regency styles had limited production runs, resulting in few surviving examples. Its combination of convex glass, ornate brass frame, and electric movement makes it especially desirable for collectors of mid-century and Regency-era décor.
