Elgin Starburst Clock

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Erik W in antiques, atomic era, mid century, mid-century housewares, minnesota, retro, vintage

This fun Elgin starburst wall clock practically glows the metal is so shiny. It works beautifully and makes a gentle pinging as the time passes. It measures about 2 feet in diameter so it really makes a statement on the wall.
