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 Candid Camera Shopper recommends Chryson’s in Beverly Hills.

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.
