Bourbon Clock Appraisal

Jim Beam Bourbon Wall Clock

This item is a circular wall clock, designed to resemble the top of a wooden bourbon barrel, prominently featuring the 'Jim Beam Bourbon' brand. The clock face is constructed from what appears to be a light to medium-toned wood, with a distinct grain visible, mimicking the slats of a barrelhead. The numbers 1 through 12 are clearly inscribed around the perimeter, in a dark, sans-serif font, accompanied by smaller dash marks indicating minutes or seconds. The brand name 'JIM BEAM' is horizontally displayed in large, dark, capitalized block letters across the upper half of the clock face. Below the brand name, in the center, is a red, circular seal-like emblem, likely representing the Jim Beam logo, though details within the emblem are not entirely clear due to image resolution. Below this central emblem, the word 'BOURBON' is emblazoned in similarly large, dark, capitalized block letters. The clock features two black, elongated hands – an hour hand and a minute hand – which are simple in design and provide a clear contrast against the lighter wooden background. There is no visible second hand. The overall aesthetic is rustic and promotional, typical of distillery memorabilia. The surface appears smooth with no obvious scratches or damage, suggesting it is in good condition. The edges of the clock face show a dark rim, possibly painted or a darker wood, defining its circular shape. The item appears to be a modern piece, likely dating from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed for decorative and promotional purposes.
