Question
I have a telechron advertising clock that is in perfect condition except for the case that is bakelite that is broken and I would like to get a case for it.  Its measurements are 17 inches across the back  3 inches tall and the glass face is 15 inches across.   Do you know where I could purchase one?  Thanks

Answer
This type of item is not going to be available from parts suppliers. Cases from any one manufacturer are so varied that there wouldn't be sufficient demand for any single one to keep producing it on the off chance someone just needed the case after regular production stops. The only option in this situation is to find an identical clock for sale with an intact case.
