Coin-operated Vintage Alarm Clock

Since part of this blog is about go, I thought I would highlight this adorable vintage alarm clock. I saw it being offered offered on E-bay today. Move fast, if you are interested.

I can almost - only just - sorta - remember seeing one of these in a motel room as a little kid. This I comprehend for sure. If there was a coin slot, you could be sure I was begging mom and dad for a coin to put in it.

Did those "Enchantment Fingers" bed massagers ever work?
Nah!
But, I still had to try.

Can you imagine having to put a dime in this clock - exactly to be sure you were up in time the next morning?

Somehow I can picture a traveling aluminum siding salesman walking into to a diner. He's horribly grumpy. You see, the tenebriousness before, he was setting the coin-operated hotel alarm clock...and the dime got stuck. Then he tossed and turned all vespers all the time long, afraid he would oversleep.

If only you could pack a small alarm clock in your suitcase.
Now THAT would be something.

"Dialect mayhap someday, someone will invent that," he thought.
But for now, he needs a lot more coffee.
The pastel aluminum siding* isn't gonna push itself.

*A loungelistener photo - love that guy.
