Quacker Clock

There is always time for history. In fact, a new exhibit opening at the Old Courthouse Museum in April will leave you wanting more time to explore clocks throughout history. It’s About Time will feature clocks of all kinds, from traditional to unusual. The Quacker clock seen here was produced by the Warren Telechron Company from 1934-1939. The fun, bird-style alarm clock was marketed for use in personal spaces such as the bedroom. The alarm quacks, and a light indicates if there is a loss of power. The clock is electric, and time is regulated by the frequency of alternating current for consistency of power. Come see Quacker and other amazing clocks at the Old Courthouse Museum in April.
