One Thing Wednesday - Vintage Alarm Clock

My mom always told me that every room should have a clock.
And mine do.
But I would not say that they are all as wonderful as this one found at Madampickay.
This one has a dark face with dirty white numbers. It also has a second hand which I always watch for when picking out a clock.
It is well worn which is another feature I look for when picking up vintage items.
Are the alarm options at the top just wonderful! They are spelled out in almost a card catalog fashion.

If I could buy one thing vintage today it would be this vintage alarm clock.

  1. that is adorable! i love the shape and style of that one. i like clocks, but i don't like the ticking....
    i am teaching my kdis to tell time with a book with a clock hand in it. seems like all the clocks are digital these days, my alarm clock, the cable box clock, so the kids aren't learning like they used to!

  7. Melanie, I am slowly trying to amass a small collection of antique alarm clocks! THAT one is FABULOUS! I have one that is 125 years old, it's a Eureka. I also have a Baby Ben (the one you showed is a Big Ben) and a Nite N Day from the forties! It's SWEET! I'm definitely going to check out that source! THANKS!
