Gastown Steam Clock Christmas Ornament
No trip to Vancouver is complete without a visit to Gastown's beloved steam clock. Its steam-powered whistles blow every quarter hour on the corner of Water and Cambie Streets.
And while it looks like a 19th-century antique, it was actually built in 1977 by horologist Raymond Saunders as part of the revitalization of the neighbourhood.
My gorgeous Gastown Steam Clock blown-glass Christmas ornament is hand-painted in a shimmering metallic copper finish with gold trim. The clock face is adorned with tiny dogwood flowers, the emblem of British Columbia. A perfect souvenir of your time in beautiful, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Size: 1" x 1" x 5" (3.0cm × 3.0cm × 13.5cm)
