Clocks and blackboards
Clocks have been a solid component within the Sio collection. The first design with square digits is from 1953, the round clock with coloured digits dates from 1965.
Over the years this clock has been produced in very large numbers.
The blackboards have also had a fixed position in the collection.
The Classic blackboard has changed over time in drawings (by Corry) which can be drawn on.
