Rare alarm clock

Postby benthechef » 15 years ago

Not going to lie, this is a self serving post because I posted the auction, but I did want real collectors to get a look at it. I love this clock, but when you move you start looking for ways to both cull the massive amounts of stuff around the house, and hopefully earn a buck or two.

Even if there's a selfish element to the thread, I thought everyone would like a few good images of a clock I've found to be rare enough to be a mystery to most, and that had absolutely no images available online.

I actually have an Atom-shaped clock myself. I just never set it, though. I couldn't stand the ticking

You're not kidding... it definitely works, and the ticking is... impressive. It's not bad, but in our current day and age, something clockwork actually ticking away is not a typical sound for most people. I definitely won't ever set the alarm again unless it's critical that I wake up, because it doesn't mess around either. Glad I could show it to people who appreciate it, even if it moves to the new place with me. :D

Holy crap, I saw one of those on Antique Roadshow. o_o

...it wasn't actually being shown appraised, but someone in the background had it...

...yep, I definitely recognize it. That wasn't you, was it? xD

But seriously, do want. I hope whoever gets this (especially if it ends up being me, mwahaha) it extremely happy with it.
