Savings clock / Savings alarm clock - Atlas - Vintage Bakelite - 1930 / 1950 - Uncommon

A beautiful and rare mechanical savings clock / savings alarm clock by the “Atlas” brand, dating from 1930–1950.

This type of clock was often used by banks or insurance companies in the mid-20th century to encourage people to save. Its unique mechanism meant the clock could only be wound after a coin had been inserted.

The case is made of cream-colored/ivory Bakelite (an early plastic), with a dark trim around the dial and gold-colored metal feet.
The back features instructions in several languages (“Insert coin, turn the clock to the left, then wind it”​​).
No key is included, but the clock is in good working order.
The clock is in beautiful, authentic vintage condition, with minor signs of age that enhance its character.

A lovely decorative collectible for enthusiasts of antique clocks, piggy banks, or Art Deco design!
