Ringing Alarm Clock Production Stand. New Haven, Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1939. Six alarm clocks are produced from an empty hat and hung on this stand one at a time, where they make an impressive display, while loudly ringing. Mechanical stand conceals five separate wind-up ringing devices. Clocks manufactured by Donald Holmes. 23? high. One of two examples known, and possibly the unit performed by the owner of the firm that manufactured the prop, Tod Petrie.
