Question
I have a simplex electric wall clock which is round and 19" in diameter. The time adjusting stem is on the bottom and it is steel coloured and it runs. I can find things about 10" and 13" clocks , so I was wondering where this might have been used and were they as common. I am going to clean it up for our cottage. Any info on this clock would be appreciated.  Thanks Tom

Answer
Simplex is better known for their time clocks but have made wall clocks as well for many years.
The 19" clock is not very common.  I have not been able to locate much information about Simplex either.  I have repaired a few but have not been able to get any parts for them.  I have to use generic motors for them.
