Pattern: Vintage Travel Alarm Clock, Phinney Walker, Mid Century
Made in Japan
Vintage: 1950's - 1960's
Details: Such a great looking little clock! It was manufactured in Japan for the Phinney Walker Company, (see below for some history on this co.). It has a wonderful Mid Century look and the much loved radium face, (you know, the little green dots and hands that glow at night), super cool! Great retro-style numbers, the case seems to be faux leather and the brass looking pieces seem to be metal, not real brass. We tried setting the alarm and it worked perfectly, clock works too. Great piece for a collector, still usable for travel, or for bedside, even pretty on a bookshelf in an office or den.
Materials: Metal, Plastic
Dimensions: Opened: 3.0 inches Tall, 3.0 inches Wide and 3.0 inches Deep. Closed: 1.5 inches Tall, and 3 x 3 square.

Phinney-Walker Co. was founded in the early 1900's in New York. They started manufacturing automobile clocks but by the 1930's they had become more of a marketing company and were no longer making their own clocks. They started outsourcing all the manufacturing to clock makers in German, Japan, Switzerland and even the USA. They were well known in the 1950's and ran large advertising campaigns for their travel alarm clocks. There is no specific date listed but we believe they closed around the 1970's.
