A BLAST-DAMAGED CLOCK FROM HIROSHIMAAn astounding relic recovered from near "ground zero" at Hiroshima, a mantle clock which vividly shows the ferocity of the heat and blast generated by the 15 kiloton atomic bomb "Little Boy", which largely destroyed the Japanese city on August 6, 1945. The once-ornamental brass and steel clock stands 5" tall and is 7 3/4" wide at the base. There are a number of frightful signs of the ordeal which this relic witnessed: the 1/8" thich steel base is warped almost 1/2" from level, and the entire case of the clock is twisted, causing the rear of the casing to partially open. The glass cover of the clock has melted upon the hands and face, freezing the hands in place, though not surprisingly not at the actual hour of the blast. There is a coating of what appears to be fused sand or earth on the metal surfaces, but what is even more striking are the two small gears from within the clock which are now fused to the trim surrounding the clock. From a long-time consignor in Japan who has previously given us a very small number of choice relics from Hioroshima and Nagasaki. This example is the best Hiroshima relic we have handled!
