A very cool Mechtronics Corp. Planters Clock, a promo item sold through seed and hardware catalogs in the 70’s.
I found this at a yard sale, under a table. I didn’t know if the clock worked & didn’t test it. It has the look. & sometimes the functionality of a vintage item is just a bonus. It was coming home with me regardless.
After a lot of cleaning & little tinkering - she works :))
Big bonus.
(copied n pasted from another site) - The lower dial rotates once per year and tells you when to plant your beans, beets, broccoli, carrots, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, endive, kale, leaf lettuce, muskmelon, onion sets, parsley, peas, peppers, pumpkins, radishes, rutabaga, spinach, squash tomato and turnip. The setting can be customized to your location in the continental United States based on the dates of first and last frost. The upper dial shows the phase of the moon and has regular hour and minute hands.
SPRING WILL COME - hang tight my seasonal depression besties 🌱🫶🏼
