Accession[2013.0112] Business machines, office equipment and ephemera of the National Mutual Life Association of AustralasiaIdentifierUMA-ITE-2013011200037Scope and ContentMade in Le Locle, Switzerland, this duo of wall-mountable pendulum clock bases was purchased by NMLA to celebrate its centenary of administration, as evidenced by its engraving. These objects are still produced by Zenith today and come in either polished walnut or mahogany, presumably to match the material of the accompanying clock. Zenith was founded in 1865 and its design of these objects has changed little since that time.
