1949 big ben alarm clock free#
Feel free to ask me if you want one! I don't mind a bit.Dates made: ca. people.ĮDIT to add: It's been brought to my attention that not all parts of the U.S. All of the others run on batteries, so there shouldn't be a problem for non-U.S.
The 1967 model I can't verify, but I'm pretty sure it'll run on both.
The Moonbeam will run on batteries, but it needs electrical current for the glowing dial and flashing alarm. However, there's another Big Lots about 20 minutes away from me (unlike 10 for the other one), and I can definitely check there. I didn't see any of the 1949 models or the clock radio, and the 1939 one I got was the last. And finally, they had the big metal twin-bell style I think it was this one, from 1908. If you want to go for it, the Big Lots near my house has the Moonbeam in green, pink, purple, and blue I didn't see any yellow or vanilla. Maybe you can make it work anyway, but I wanted to let you know in case that's insurmountable. (Normal house current in USA) Not designed for use outside USA." Hi ladies, I'd love to send them on to you! I go to the post office all the time, and they're very well-packaged so I wouldn't be afraid to mail them. Might be something akin to "kreusening" or "Corinthian leather"). Loosely based on a 1930's original, this clock radio has a lighted dial and an "ebonized" wood casing(what "ebonized"? Not sure. There's also another Westclox clock called the "Twilight" that's similar to the Moonbeam, but has a different shape.Īnd, if you need a clock radio, you may hunt around for a "Baxter" clock radio from Seth Thomas. Or, as Esquivel's backup singers would say, very "ha-cha-CHAAA!!") *a 1956 Big Ben, called "the Clock of Tomorrow"(very Populuxe. *a 1949 Big Ben, in black or silver(but currently available from other retailers in other colors) Not sure why the original font was changed.) *a 1939 Big Ben, in black or silver(this is the one that Rstoration Hardware and Pottery Barn carried for years. *a 1937 Silent Knight (very Streamline Moderne!! Ay, que sexy!!) Not that I'm implying, er, uh, you know, uh, nevermind.) Westclox reissued several clocks as battery-powered quartz alarm clocks:
