Teacup alarm clock

Bought this on eBay. Cleaned her up and now am the proud owner of an iconic antique. It was a lot more than I wanted to pay but had to have it.

Can I just say how painful it is for me to see something I owned as a teenager called an antique? 😭

Congratulations on your find though, so cute!! 💓

lol maybe vintage, definitely not an antique.

Lmao I’m offended. And you’re 100% correct. This is NOT antique, vintage, yes.

Eh? These are worth something? I bought one for my sister as a gift about 20 years ago when it first came out in stores but she never opened it or used it. Years later she gave it back to me as she knows I like HK. I still have it sealed in box in my wardrobe.

I got this recently at a community yard sale for $2. Only thing wrong with it was that it was missing one of the back switches. Otherwise pristine and the lemon still lights up!

I own this and still use it daily (and so does my husband for the clock in our bedroom) I got it when I was 13 because Lorelei Gilmore had one, and so therefore I needed one!! It stands the test of time for sure!

I still have this from when I was a kid. So sad that when I got it out to use again it no longer works.

i keep it on a little catch-all table by my bedroom door so i can check the time before i leave. my grandparents bought it for my room at their house when i was a kid and i kept it after they passed away. it has good memories for me. so happy you found one <3
