Description
A compact mid-century mechanical travel alarm clock housed in its original folding case. The clock features a square black dial with luminous markers, brass-tone hands, and “ELCO-ALERT” and “7 JEWELED” markings. The folding case—once likely a textured faux-leather material—shows significant age wear but still opens and closes. The clock mechanism is intact and winds, though function has not been tested for accuracy.
This is an appealing restoration piece or display item for collectors of vintage travel clocks and early mechanical alarm designs.
The clock and case show heavy wear consistent with age, including surface deterioration to the exterior, discoloration to the interior lining, and patina on the brass backplate. Sold as-is.
