Description

World War 2 US 'War Alarm' Clock, made in Winsted, Connecticut, most likely by the clock company 'The Gilbert Clock Co.' During World War II the company was one of the few American clock companies allowed to continue producing clocks (instead of having to make war material) since these were needed even during a time of war, people needed to get to their war-related jobs on time. Alarm clocks were made from non essential war materials like cardboard and later sheet-metal to save on raw materials for the war industry. The clock is in good and functional condition.
