Tic toc, it’s times for an uploader — and this weekend’s theme is: Vintage wall clocks. I have lived in my 1951 house for 12 years now, and golly, all this time, we have not had a mid century wall clock up anywhere. I guess the Retro Decorating Gods were waiting to serve me up the perfect one, and a few weeks ago, they finally did. It’s a made in the USA Burwood clock. The clock isn’t “dear”, I think, meaning it’s not worth a whole lot of money. But it suited my space perfectly — gives my modern traditional dining room / living room the right dosage of Atomic Zing. Above: Reader Shelly’s vintage clock wall also is a visual treat. Check out all 331 amazing vintage wall clocks uploaded by readers.
Mega thanks to everyone who submitted photos of their fantastic vintage wall clocks — the uploader is now closed.

Ok, who is it that got the Starburst clock from the Portland Flea-for-All??? We’re neighbors! I live in Westbrook on E. Bridge!

I made a mistake on my upload… I thought my husband said he got ours from a Britsh eBay seller, but apparently it came from Minneapolis. It’s a Roxhall.

Oh, what a thrill to see all these lovely clocks! I especially like the leaf burst clocks, the boomerang clock, the Junghans clock with formica mounting plate, the blue tile clock – oh, they are all lovely! My favorite memory of the starburst clocks is when I was in college in 1970. The den in our dorm had an old TV and we had a really difficult time getting good reception, especially the station for the cult favorite “Dark Shadows”. My father was a TV repairman and I had some knowledge of how to fix and hook up antennas. I took the starburst clock off the wall and wired it into the back and greatly improved our reception! The cleaning ladies quickly figured out not to touch it! How’s that for dual purpose?!

You saved the day! We always had lots of tin foil on the t.v. antenna to get better reception.

So many starbursts! I love the leaf burst clock. i am partial to the metal leaf and butterfly and wheat wall hangings, so this is just perfect!

a Bitossi clock for $5…?! The ones on etsy cost over $2000!!

Seriously? That was my big Goodwill find! While I liked the clock, it wasn’t what I was looking for (though I knew it had some value), so I just flipped it on ebay for just over $200 bucks.
Still a pretty good return on my investment!

I uploaded mine! It’s a small square-ish hard-wired clock that was on the wall in the dining room when I bought my 1959 mid-century Florida ranch house in December 2012. It is WAY too small for the wall…but I don’t know what else to do with it. lol

I love all these clocks! But I really do have a soft spot for vintage clocks. I just uploaded mine.
