Font on the words at the bottom looks modern to me. I have to assume it's recent manufacture.

The canister isn't a Pam canister and likely the face is modern made. It also is in too good of condition. Best to open the back of the canister and get a good look at the face from the back. Personally I think it's repop.
Always looking for back-lit advertising clocks, prefer Telechron, American Time & Electric Time. Also Pam in good condition.

Also I just noticed this is too blue, the original was more of a green color

Ok, general consensus is reproduction.
Can any of the Clock experts tell me who produced these clocks (Woody's?), what year, original price and what is a current fair market value based on one in near mint condition?
Does anyone have a photo of a "real" Pam Mercury clock with a view of the front and back?
Thanks,

Wayne's Neon clocks sold to his dealers for $150; otherwise $200. Remember even your canister isn't a reproduction, it could be a Modern Advertising or Swihart canister. The face sells for about $55 to $65 by itself.
