Lot #449: Vintage Handmade Inlaid Wood Wall Clock with Jeco Movement

This lot features a vintage square wall clock, handcrafted with an intricate inlaid wood design and a distinctive light-wood chevron-patterned frame. The reverse of the clock is visible through its original transparent plastic housing, revealing a high-quality "ATO-LIT" electromechanical movement manufactured by Jeco Co., Ltd. in Japan, likely dating from the late 1960s to early 1970s. This specific movement type (Model 73221) is noted for using a battery-powered balance wheel system, a popular high-precision technology of that era prior to the widespread adoption of modern quartz. The movement is marked with U.S. Patent 2986683, referencing its specialized electromagnetic regulation system. This functional piece of mid-century craftsmanship typically operates on a single 1.5v battery. Please check the pictures for specific sizing and the overall condition of the item. Tested and in working condition. Pickup category timeslot {A}
