Barth Clock

I found this on eBay and thought it was too cool to pass up. The available clocks in our Regency are usually too hard to see. This should fit quite nicely over the dinette table.

Hey Bill
My daughter who lives in Phoenix got me one for Father's Day. She also picked up two Barth Motor Co. water glasses that have a trailer, motorhome and slide-in on them. Must be from the late 60s or early 70s.
My dw had a golf shirt done with my name and "1990 Barth Regency" embroidered on it.
The clock's been on the wall in the bus since then and keeps perfect time!
Glad you got one too!

Hi Don,

I just noticed there are actually two versions of this clock, the other can be seen at:

I also got two of the glasses and they are on display in the cup holders for that awesome pull-out table that is curbside, at least in the Stagecoach.

I haven't gotten the shirt yet, I'll have to look around. I'll certainly need one or two of those!

Fergit the clock - get the BEER!

I'd like one for mine, but being an astronomer, I need the very precise time afforded by my atomic clock...

The clock will be the first thing I see upon opening the door to enter. Just in case one of us forgets, it will remind us to bring the beer.

Now there's a rational reason for the Barth (beer) clock!

As for me, I can't imagine a scenario where I'd forget the beer...

We need slightly less precision. Our Barth has a clock from Shadowman that tells us what day it is. That's really all we need to know.

Now............how do we get to try some of that beer?

Drive NE to Colorado Springs, CO and I'll have the beer ready!

You're right, there is too much precision when we're trying to get away from it all. But this clock has BARTH on it so it must be of high quality craftsmanship and it deserves a good home of that same quality. Okay, okay, I'll go have a beer but I will enjoy looking at it while I drink a beer even though the time won't be of great importance.

Quality? My clock has a Walmart sticker on the back and one of those generic Asian movements common to most other Walmart clocks.
I googled and searched for a Barth Brewery but no luck. There isn't one I could find.
But it does sound a bit Bavarian I guess. More so than Winnebagel Beer I guess!
Most important is it says "Barth" on it!

Sheesh! All you guys braggin' about your clocks. I have two Dollar Store clocks, identical except one is pink, the other silver. One gains 5 minutes a day, the other doesn't work at all. Trouble is, I can never remember which is which.

From an optimist's point of view, 50% of your clocks are exactly right twice a day!

You all crack me up!

I know I can get many clocks cheaper than these but they won't say Barth on them. As far as Barth beer, I've never heard of it but who knows, they might have made this up when they saw me coming!

See Page 3 of this (right column) from Napa Valley, and this

And there are still Barths devoted to beer!

After searching the internet, it appears there was Barth Beer in the US (Napa Valley as Rusty posted) and in Germany.

I've put in a request with the seller to see if they can put the Barth logo on the face of the clock to make it even more personalized. How cool would it be if the clock was available with either the World Globe w/ Barth design or one like the Barth emblem on the motorhome?
