Vtg Arizona MID Century Gold Mine Clock! Atomic 50’s 60’s Wood Wild West Cowboy
MID – CENTURY GOLD MINE CLOCK MADE WITH ORIGINAL WOOD FROM ARIZONA ABANDONED MINE CIRCA 1957 Approx. 22″ By 12″ By 4-1/2. The history of Arizona revolves around mining. The gold rush of 1849 brought countless people to California hoping to strike it rich. After several rich strikes in Arizona those who were having little luck left California and headed to Arizona. The mining industry built the state and towns sprung up overnight to provide goods and services for the miners. This one of a kind clock was made from the wood from an abandoned Arizona mine by a man whose family used to work the mines. The aged wood looks spectacular and it has the right feel and spirit of the Western mine era! The only’modern’ pieces are the clock movement and some mid century teak styled board on the back. Little details are all present, from the gold bearing mine cart to the fallen down door this piece was a labor of love. Even the clock markers are old railroad nails from the mine cart tracks! Regional artifacts with historic ties are always a wonderful find and this piece wouldn’t be made today. The memories of the mines and wild west are fading, but were much fresher and romanticized in the mid century period. This piece can stand by itself on a credenza, desk or shelf or be hung on a wall. The perfect Western piece for your Southwestern decor or as a mid century style break for your interior spaces! STRIKE IT RICH WITH THIS CHARMING CLOCK!
Vintage MCM Mid Century Modern Atomic Space Age UFO Wild Acrylic Door Beads
If the Jetsons had a room with door beads, they would look like this. This is an awesome looking set of Mid Century Modern acrylic door beads. They measure 93 inches long and have 12 pieces per strand and there are 12 strands in this lot. Most pieces have some light scratches. A few of the UFO or spinning top shaped pieces have chips on the edge. I do have an extra partial strand with 10 pieces on it (shown in the photos) that could be used to replace pieces with damage. The pieces are easy to change out as there are screw in eyelets in the top and bottom of each piece. If you do not need the strands to be 93 inches long, they could be easily shortened and another strand made from the pieces. You will have to supply the rod that the strands hang off. I have never seen a set like this. If you have any questions, please ask.
