THE ULTIMATE VINTAGE FIND: A PIECE OF AUSTRALIAN DAIRY HISTORY
We are thrilled to present this truly unique and collectible vintage Hermle Quartz Wall Clock, presented as a long-service award by the iconic Q.U.F. Industries Ltd., the predecessor to the modern Pauls dairy brand. This is more than a timepiece; it's a tangible artifact from Australia's rich corporate past.
A Unique Corporate Commemorative
The clock features a prominent brass plaque dedicated to "John McGuire" in "recognition of your service to the milk vending industry." Items directly linked to Q.U.F. Industries and the specific industry are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors of Australian corporate, business, and dairy memorabilia. This item likely dates from the period between 1969 and 1998.
German Quality and Craftsmanship
Beyond its historical value, this is a genuine, high-quality timepiece from Hermle, Germany's premier clock movement manufacturer.
• Movement: Hermle Quartz (Model 2214/237-771) - Made in Germany.
