Philco 551 clock question
#15

Let's look at some Philco Colonial Clocks with original hands.

This 551 has been refinished, but the clock hands are original.

My 80 Jr. Colonial Clock. The original clock motor was replaced by a Telechron movement long ago, and whoever did that added the red second hand. The original movement did not have a second hand.

I hate to say it, but your 551 was also stripped and refinished, and those are not the original finials. The finish on my 80 Jr. is original, and the finials on both clocks I linked to are original as well.

None of the hands in the image you posted look exactly like the original, so you might as well use something you like. For what it's worth, the H1 hands in your image are similar to those used on the Philco grandfather clock radio.
