Description
Fully Functional Here's some information about this classic timepiece: Distinctive Alarm Feature: The Moonbeam is renowned for its unique alarm system that uses a flashing light, originally a 25-watt nightlight-style bulb behind a translucent butyrate plastic, designed to gently awaken sleepers before a more forceful buzzer activates if the light doesn't suffice. Art Deco Design: Introduced in 1949, this model embodies the streamline Art Deco style of the mid-20th century, typically featuring a durable Bakelite body, often in a yellow or butterscotch color, and a brass base. Power Failure Indicator: A notable feature for its era is the power failure indicator, a small red dot that changes color if the power supply to the clock is interrupted, reflecting the less reliable power grids of the time. Silent Operation: Unlike many traditional alarm clocks with their distinct ticking sounds, the original Moonbeam clocks are known for their continuous motion second hand, resulting in silent operation.
