Art Deco Lawson Kem Weber Electrical Clock Model 206

Very rare and highly collectible is this Art Deco Lawson Time Clock by famed designor Kem Weber whose biography is partial below in the appraisers comments. 

This clock is brushed steel or brushed chrome and keeps perfect time.  The dial and plastic housing are slightly yellowed which isn't surprising considering the age. 

The appraiser put this clock between 1925 and 1930 as you can see below. 

The only flaw we can find is a slight indentation in the plastic just above the minute rotating number.

Please note that the price is $800 under the appraisers estimation.

Kem Weber (1889-1963) was a furniture and industrial designer, an architect, art director and a teacher. He was born in Germany. He trained in cabinetmaking before he enrolled at the School for the Decorative Arts in Berlin in 1908, where he studied with Bruno Paul. He graduated in 1912, and immigrated to San Francisco California in order to supervise work on the German Pavilion of the 1915 international Exposition. World War l delayed his departure. He never returned to Germany and became a U.S. citizen in 1924. He took the name Weber and created his first name of KEM after his given name (Karl Emanuel Martin). This is a gentleman who designed furniture, modern sets for films and private residences, so that his clocks are only a minor aspect of his creative activity. He created the architecture for the Disney Studios in Burbank. The place of clock manufacture was in Alhambra and in Los Angeles California. All of his clocks were of the art deco type, small, electrically driven charming desk clocks. Most of the ones I could find exhibited the time by the flipping of numerical cards. The Art Deco period profited from the availability of new materials, e.g. plastics, glass, tubular steel, polished chrome, colored marble and bright enamels. Weber used most of these in his craft. His style was an abstract one that runs towards symmetrical interpretation. Your clock, model 206 is classical Art Deco with feet of tubular steel with a symmetrical rectangular viewing area for the clock, which appears to display hours, minutes and seconds. I believe the material used for the housing is brushed steel. Model 304 was created in 1933, however model 350 is said to be circa 1923. So it is difficult to date your model precisely. Based upon the use of multiple tubular steel feet in other objects d'art we can say the likely manufacture date was 1925-30. The condition of you clock is quite pristine, and it is quite a rare and fine example of this period.
