This is a classic mid-century/Art Deco mechanical wind-up alarm clock made by the William L. Gilbert Clock Corporation (marked "Gilbert" on the dial and "GILBERT CLOCKS, MADE IN WINSTED, CONN. / LACONIA, N.H., U.S.A." along the bottom edge). Housed in a cream/ivory ribbed plastic skyscraper arch case, this timepiece features a gold-tone dial with bold black Arabic numerals, a top sub-dial for setting the alarm, and a convex glass crystal.
Condition: Parts, not working.
- Mechanical & Rear Hardware: As shown in the back photo, only one brass winding key and one alarm shut-off plunger are present on the rear plate—the remaining setting and winding knobs are missing from their posts, and there is visible scratching around the rear posts. - Cosmetic Condition: The ivory plastic case has no major cracks, though it shows age-related yellowing, surface scuffs, minor edge nicks, and dark marks/discoloration on the sides, bottom, and top ridges. The metal bezel around the convex glass has natural dark patina and tarnish.
