Vintage Alarm Clocks (1930 - 1969) were designed to alert an individual at a specific time. It is a classic analog clock with a button or handle on the clock that, when pressed, would turn the alarm off. Traditional alarm clocks have one or two bells that ring by means of a mainspring that moves the hammer back and forth between the two bells or hits the single bell. Alarm clocks in the United States ceased production during WWII as the factories were converted to war work but were one of the first items to resume production after the war. This vintage design was based on the designer’s childhood memories. She had a clock model as depicted, the teddy bear is her actual childhood toy, and the purple glasses were her rebellious favourite growing up. The early morning sunrise over Lake Ontario is the view that she wakes up to. Biography Sue Reaney has been hooking since the early 1970’s.
