NOS Vintage Telechron 3H159 Suave Clock Brand New In Box Sealed Electric Glass For Sale

We acquired this incredible piece of mid-century Americana at an estate sale in Los Angeles: a New Old Stock (NOS) / Brand New in Box Telechron Model 3H159 \"Suave\" Electric Clock. This piece represents a highly sought-after, premium piece of Mid-Century Modern design. Unlike standard plastic or wood clocks of the era, the Suave is a striking, heavy hemisphere of glass that carries immense inherent visual and collectible value.While ordinary, unboxed, and heavily used versions of the \"Suave\" frequently command significant interest on the secondary market, finding a completely untampered, New Old Stock (NOS) specimen preserved inside its original factory archive box is an absolute rarity. This pristine example sits in an elite tier for historical collectors and museum-grade displays.This item is part of a premium, single-owner estate collection. A couple of months ago, we sold a similar factory-sealed Telechron clock from this exact same archive source, which received outstanding response from a highly satisfied collector. You can offer and buy with absolute confidence knowing this piece comes from the same exceptionally well-preserved collection.Manufactured by Telechron Inc. in Ashland, Massachusetts, this item has remained free of tampering, sealed in its original factory packaging for decades.Condition Details:The Box: Outstanding condition for its age. The overall structural integrity is excellent, with crisp corners, stiff cardboard flaps, and no major tears, water damage, or crushing. The main factory label is beautifully preserved, completely legible, and retains its rich vintage contrast. One side of the box shows a minor cosmetic indentation in the cardboard, but the package remains securely taped and completely uncompromised. When gently handled, there is absolutely no sound of broken glass inside, indicating the timepiece remains safely secured in its original factory placement. The box also includes authentic handwritten vintage pricing and markings from its original estate source. The side panels display a bold, crisp Robert Gair Company Inc. Cambridge, Massachusetts box maker\'s stamp (PS-909-1). The package shows only minor, authentic aging consistent with careful, long-term storage.The Clock: Strictly untested and factory-sealed/wrapped. To preserve its maximum historical and archive value for top-tier collectors, the box has not been opened and the cord has not been uncoiled.Note: Because this is a decades-old New Old Stock mechanical item, the original factory lubrication inside the internal rotor may be dried or settled due to decades of non-use. This item is sold strictly as-is, as a pristine, archive-quality collector\'s piece.
