1960s Blue Phinney Walker Folding Travel Alarm Clock

$58.00
A compact mid-century Phinney-Walker folding travel alarm clock featuring a vivid blue clamshell case, gold-tone trim, and a matching blue dial with bold white numerals. Its round folding form gives it that classic portable bedside-travel look while still feeling distinctly modern and graphic on a shelf or desk.

This clock is mechanical wind-up, fully tested, and working: it ticks, keeps time, and the alarm functions as it should. The bright blue case makes it especially display-friendly, while the folding design lets it tuck away neatly when not in use.

📚 Historical Context

Phinney-Walker was a long-running American clock brand that sold everything from bedside alarms to travel clocks, with many later portable models produced in Japan as postwar manufacturing shifted toward compact, reliable export movements.

This folding blue example fits the mid-century travel-alarm era well, when colorful mechanical clocks were made to be functional on the road but stylish enough for everyday use at home. Comparable examples of this Japanese-made folding Phinney-Walker style are commonly identified as 1960s pieces.
