About the Item

From the personal collection of the legendary Joe DiMaggio, this incredible vintage desk clock was presented to the Yankee Clipper by Harrah's for his participation in their 1967 invitational golf tournament. The Swiss timepiece was retailed by Relide of New York and features a brass cube-form body that rotates easily between four separate indicators: a clock, a thermometer, a barometer and a hygrometer (to measure humidity). The top bears the engraving "Harrah's / Invitational 1967 / Joe DiMaggio", and a label applied to the base indicates this clock is indeed from the collection of the American baseball icon. This timepiece is accompanied by a letter of authenticity signed by the grandchildren of Joe DiMaggio. Dated 1967 Measures: 3 3/8" square x 4" high.
