The Beatles 1968 Yellow Submarine 100% Real & Authentic Beatles Sheffield Yellow Submarine Alarm Clock - LOW RESERVE !!! Offered is a beautiful 100% authentic original 1968 Beatles Yellow Submarine Alarm Clock as mfg in West Germany by the Sheffield Watch Company in 1968. This was the only officially licensed Beatles Alarm Clock made in the 1960s that was fully licensed by The Beatles licensing company, King Features Subafilms Limited in 1968. ...; There was no earlier 1964 Beatles licensed clock made, only this one. This very rare German made Beatles alarm clock also had a companion piece made by the Sheffield clock company: the ultra rare Yellow Submarine LOVE wristwatch! Keep a lookout for that piece... it's another rarity that's quite hard to find! Now back to this piece...This auction is for the very colorful and very psychedelically machine painted alarm clock!!! This alarm clock is an original vintage 1968 Yellow Submarine Sheffield alarm clock that is in Very Good condition. The sides are tin lithography painting on metal with swirling colors with many "LOVE" banners all around the sides... it could be called The Beatles LOVE Alarm Clock! It is complete with all the original brass knobs and accoutrements. The front dome is actually made of glass and it's in Excellent condition with minimal wear. All the functions of the clock work including the alarm. We wound the clock and it kept time within a few minutes over a 24 hour period. The backside has instructions stamped into the metal back plus it's stamped WEST GERMANY on the backside. There is light general wear to the outside metal case and it's most evident on the orange colored front rim. It's not overly distractive, it's just 50+ years of normal handling wear. The painted sides do not appear to have any scratching nor does the yellow metal back. It looks like the only paint dings are the bells, and the very front of the case where it's painted white and orange. The dial features The Beatles on top of their Yellow Submarine and below is printed BEATLES YELLOW SUBMARINE in bold red and pink lettering. The dial also features raised Glow In The Dark phosphorus dots on each of the hour markers! The red painted hour and minute hands also have Glow In The Dark phosphorus paint on them. Under the number 6 hour marker at the bottom of the dial in very tiny letters it reads WESTERN GERMANY.We grade the clock a solid Very Good condition. It's not MINT condition but it's a nice displayable example for any serious Beatles collection. There is a some discoloration on the dial on some of the graphics and the yellow background color. The graphics are still bold and bright and this discoloration is hardly noticeable in person. We have seen many of these clocks over the years, and alot of them have some minor dial discoloration present; on some it appears to be like brushstrokes, on others it might be water staining. Plus the fact that you're looking at graphics through a glass lens that has some scratching to it, so that will show up on photographs but is hardly noticeable in person. This clock is really small... the dial on this clock is only 2.5" in diameter plus it's just under 4" high, so keep in mind that the clock looks better in person than our pictures show. You won't be disappointed!! We guarantee your complete satisfaction! Overall it's a solid Very Good conditioned REAL AUTHENTIC SHEFFIELD 1968 BEATLES YELLOW SUBMARINE ALARM CLOCK!LASTLY: We are also including a color laser copy of the original display box that it came with; it's a nice addition that we bought from BeatleBay, and we are including it for free! GOOD LUCK!!! A Super Great Head Turner Vintage 1968 Beatles Yellow Submarine Display Piece !!!
