I Love Lucy’s Toleware Wall Clock
The Toleware Wall Clock is hard to miss on the I Love Lucy show. It can be seen over the mantel in the Ricardo’s living room for most of the early episodes. In a rare color set photo ( detail above) we see that the octagonal tole clock was a deep red color. I have seen this model on ebay from time to time in other colors too.Tole clocks are usually made of painted tin. This one has hand painted floral decorations and was a wind up model. The clock we see above was actually the second tole clock to be used, in the first few episodes of I love Lucy there was a round one with leaf decorations in its place on the same spot.
Collectors looking for one should search ebay for “tole wall clock” or “toleware wall clock”. There is actually one just like it on ebay as I write this click here for details or on the picture above.
