Can you believe this unusual find? This alarm clock is from my personal ballerina clock collection. I am told by a viewing customer that this unique item was made around 1953 as her Father gave one to her Mother as a gift and she still has the item and that it is identical to this unit. It was made in West Germany the Bradley clock company which was well known for quality alarm clocks.
This ballerina is called a spinning ballerina clock. The girl simply twirls around and around constantly when the alarm goes off.

This West German made unit is a clock with an alarm that triggers the ballerina and the music box which plays a tune I recognize but cannot remember its name. There are two mirrors behind the ballerina positioned at an interesting angle making it look like there are 3 ballerinas dancing when there really is only one ballerina and two mirrored images in the background.
The music box and ballerina (alarm) can be stopped by simply pushing in the left TV knob on the front of the unit as shown in one of the photos. The alarm is set by moving the alarm set hand from the back of the clock and then pulling out the TV knob on the left front of the unit. The alarm can be paused by turning the right TV knob.
This clock certainly falls into the collectible novelty clock group. This style of clock is rare but I have been collecting them for many years and have several. This is only the second TV/Ballerina clock I have ever seen so it is a rare one indeed.
This is a most interesting clock and I would be happy to discuss with you anything that you don't quite understand. The case of the clock is in very good condition except for some minor warping on the top of the item as shown in the photos. The black case of the item is a type of plastic. Both lenses of the item are glass and in perfect condition. The clock is operational and has been fully serviced.
This item measures 5 inches tall by 3 inches wide and 3 inches deep. |
