I was contacted by the owner of this clock who kindly provided me with the following images. The owner was hoping for a valuation but these clocks are so rare that it would be impossible to suggest a value considering the generally low prices for Telavox clocks in Denmark. It may appear one day on eBay if my suggestion is followed.
The plain dial suggests an early clock. What an attractive case with boxwood stringing against the dark veneer adding an extra touch of quality.
The fascinating "programmer" style backplate with outlet socket on the left.
The underside of the case.
The unique label on the underside translates roughly into:
Voltage as marked. Current maximum 2 Amps.
And, a vital date stamp too confirm when it was manufactured. So few Telavox clocks were date stamped that I wonder whether these stamps might be the mark of a special factory quality inspection. Pure speculation on my part but I wonder why so few were stamped during manufacture. Some of these date stamps would have been impossible to manage once the clock case was completed. For example: Date stamps inside the case and even in the battery compartment. Some clock repairers marked clocks as they passed through their hands but I don't think repairers were responsible for making these particular date stamps.
These images kindly provided by the owner, though very clear, are a little too small to allow enlargement by clicking on them.
