C.1910, Darche Mfg Co. alarm shelf clock
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
Chicago, an alarm or medication reminder clock, (incomplete) with a ring outside of the dial with 48 holes at 15 minute intervals. The alarm is "set" by pushing large brass pins in the appropriate hole(s) (there are 6 pins). Although there are wires extending from the clock to the base, the ringer and battery holder are missing. Also absent is a bottom dust cover and the case has dry splits. In 30 years we have not seen this model, so assume it did not sell well. Darche collectors should be interested in restoring this. Height 12"
