The Sunbeam Beer Barrel Alarm Flip Clock
The Beer Barrel flip clock, evidently model (catalogue number) 85-115 is a bit of a mystery. You won't find many (or any online) and it comes with no explanation. It's just a flip clock .... that looks like a tapped wooden beer barrel.
The clock is an alarm flip clock and by the looks of the internals, was a relatively early flip clock (due to the presence of a neon glow bulb.
What can you say? It's designed well - it looks like what it's supposed to be. Disassembly reveals a plastic clock that is sturdy, quiet and keeps time well.
This is one of those clocks that we'll be hoping someone gives us more information about in the future.
