hi, I have this clock....i do not think it is too old (?)...with that said, it does take Batteries....I guess they had batteries in the 50's, 60's, and 70's....
I got it at a garage sale for a whole .50 cents (.50 pence ??). I like the look, and it is heavy, but not heavy like a *ton* -- just has some weight to it...
It says: CROSA QUARTZ on it.
I just like it....and it works like a charm....just thought I would post this..........I
it
(ahh...time and age......they go never to be re-captured)Rose
