WILD WEST ARIZONA MID CENTURY GOLD MINE CLOCK 50'S 60'S WOOD COWBOY MODERN VTG For Sale

LUCKY STRIKE !MID - CENTURY
GOLD MINE CLOCKMADE 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.Works well. Fine vintage condition. 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!
