Sharr Appraisal

SHARR Twin Bell Alarm Clock

This item is a vintage-style twin bell alarm clock, featuring a classic design often associated with older mechanical clocks, though this particular model appears to be quartz-driven. The clock has a circular body largely made of metal with a matte silver or brushed nickel finish, approximately 4-6 inches in diameter based on common alarm clock sizes. The face is white with clear, bold black Arabic numerals (1-12) for hour markers, and smaller black dash marks for minute intervals. The hour and minute hands are black, angular, and prominent, while the red second hand provides a splash of contrast. The brand name 'SHARR' is visible below the 12 o'clock position, and 'QUARTZ' is printed centered above the 6 o'clock position, indicating a modern battery-operated movement. The most distinctive features are the two prominent bells mounted on top of the clock, connected by a U-shaped metallic handle, also in a matching silver tone. A small, thin hammer is positioned between the bells, designed to strike them alternately to produce a loud alarm sound. The clock stands on two curved, slender metallic legs at the front and a single, less visible leg at the back, all matching the body's silver finish. There are no visible signs of significant damage such as dents, deep scratches, or cracks on the glass or metal components, and the finish appears uniformly preserved, suggesting either careful use or relatively recent manufacturing. The overall craftsmanship appears standard for a mass-produced item of this type, with a focus on functionality and a nostalgic aesthetic. Its age is likely contemporary, mimicking a classic style.
