They were popular and common until about the 1970s. (General Electric) Telechron, Warren Telechron, Revere, Westminster, Seth Thomas, General Time Corporation (Corp.), Sessions, Lanshire, Jefferson Electric, Synchron, Spartus, Hammond (and other brands) had several type of electric mantel clock, and westminster chime (chiming) electric mantel clock, on the market.
