Question

Vintage Banjo Clock
Greetings - I recently acquired a banjo clock made by the Trend Clock Company in Zeeland, Michigan - model 606.  I did a pretty thorough check on the internet and came up empty handed.  I'm really just curious about it's age - would you happen to know - or could you point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

Regards,

Answer
The Trend Clock Company was purchased in 1968 by Bob and Charles Sligh of the Sligh Clock Company in Zeeland, Michigan.  In 1980 they dropped the Trend name.  In 2005, Sligh ceased manufacturing clocks and are now making office furniture


so about 1955-1960 be my guess
