Mr. Peanut 1995 CHAPIN CLOCKS Wall Clock, American Retro, Classic

Mr. Peanut 1995 CHAPIN CLOCKS Wall Clock. This advertising-designed wall clock was produced by CHAPIN CLOCKS, located in Wilmington, North Carolina. Production mostly occurred in the 90s, primarily by a small company that took on advertising material production for food companies like Pepsi and Coors. The main character of this piece is Mr. Peanut, a common sight in antique shops. Originating from the Planters company, he has been the most popular and widely recognized corporate mascot in the United States since 1916. By the mid-to-late 20th century, he had become an icon of pop culture. He symbolizes the golden age of American culture, humorous nostalgia, and consumer culture. The black and gold color scheme easily evokes Mr. Peanut's elegant, humorous, and witty demeanor. The craftsmanship on all sides is beautiful, and the materials used are substantial, giving it a satisfying weight when held. I personally love it! I feel like the items I've recently acquired keep raising my appreciation for them. If you love American retro culture, this is highly recommended for collection. The overall condition is excellent. It runs on a single AA battery, and time accuracy was tested over a full day. As an item over 30 years old, I cannot guarantee future time accuracy after purchase. Dimensions: 47*32*6cm A short video is available for reference regarding the actual color and condition.
