Since many Lawson Art Deco clocks would cost several hundred dollars in today’s currency, I wondered who sold these luxury items during the Depression. The answer came from Scott Braznell who found these ads from 1937.
The ad below, which shows a Telechron digital clock, not a Lawson, is from Schwabacher-Frey, a Los Angeles seller of office supplies. If you follow the Lawson clock story, note that Schwabacher-Frey had a location just a few blocks from Henry Fenenbock’s pen shop.
