Default Anyone Ever Seen This Home Run Cigarettes Clock?

 photo home run cigs clock_zpsrwtvcoob.jpg

Someone sent me these photos of this clock...I think I may have seen one before but I'm not familiar with it...Clearly an advertising piece from the stipulation "Sold Here"...Advertising copy "Quality Not Style Burley Blend Smokes" is consistent with the signs I've seen ...appears to have some wear on the face and I see some small dents on the brass pendulum...so shows some age...Nice to know the maker was New Haven Clock Company...who’s chief principle from 1902 to 1923 was Walter Camp...Camp is known as the father of American football but was also involved in many sports at Yale...including baseball...

Q. Anyone ever seen one of these or know anything about it?
