Can anyone tell me if my alarm clock is a collector piece and what it might be worth.
I just bought this same model clock at an antique store today in Kentucky. Only difference is that mine is light blue where yours is yellow. I've been searching the Internet for information and cannot find anything on it. It is such a unique piece! Let me know if you've learned anything.
I can not seen to find anything on it at all, How much did you happen to pay for it? I am curious to know about what this might be worth. I got it from my Grandfather many years ago.
These I believe were around the 1960's era. I posted a Sheffield Time Reader with a dial designed for children to learn how to tell time, but the back is clear showing the movement of the clock like yours. I've had mine over 30 years, so on value I'm no help.
