The following pictures are from Revere Catalogs and/or actual Revere clocks that we have serviced or sold, plus additional pictures provided by viewers and from Tom's vast collection. We have listed the clocks in numerical order by Model Number. Please note that we are continually working on these galleries with new clocks being added as we receive new information and pictures. If your clock is not pictured here it does not mean it doesn't exist! We probably haven't gotten it listed yet, or are unaware of it and do not have any pictures or documentation.

Make: RevereName: Hull's Victory Model Number: Unknown Date: 1930 Case: Honduras Mahogany with Brass Eagle and side brackets. Decorated Glass panels. Dial: Silvered with etched black numerals. Details: This is one of three Banjo style clocks Revere made. All are much taller than any of the Telechron or GE non-chiming versions. All had Westminster Chimes. This one has reverse painted glass panels in the throat and the bottom section. We assume the name 'Hull's Victory' is in reference to the ships battling in the lower panels painting.

Details: The third Banjo style clock Revere made and the only one we have a photo of -thanks to Drew D. who sent us a picture of his. Crotch Mahogany was used in the throat section and as a panel in the lower section. A brass eagle on top was the only other decoration. This is the overall smallest and least expensive of the three made. Original price: $90. 40" H x 10 1/2" W X 5 1/4" D
