Starburst Wall Clock

I've had this Starburst wall clock for about 10 years. I believe it's an Elgin, aka from Elgin Clock and Home Products Co., out of Chicago, Ill. Prior to the advent of atomic clocks, Elgin actually built and maintained an observatory they used to gauge correct time using the stars, and then broadcast via shortwaves to those who owned their clocks and watches.
