Europa - 2530 - 1950-1959

Overview
This is a charming vintage Europa travel alarm clock with a very appealing mid-century European portable design. When folded, it presents like a compact red case, and when opened it becomes a practical bedside or travel alarm clock with strong period character. The light dial with green Arabic numerals gives it a clean and attractive look. Its strongest feature is the survival of both the original red folding case and the original printed outer box, making this a notably complete set.
