Vintage Midcentury Pink 8 Day Wind Up Alarm Clock by Harmony House
Vintage Midcentury Pink Wind Up Alarm Clock by Harmony House from Sears and Roebuck.
It is circa 1940's and is in working condition with that beautiful 'tick tock' sound !!
It has a 8 day alarm - which I tested and it works!
The face is a chocolate brown with cream numbers.
There are a few minor spots of paint that have rubbed off along the bottom of the face and the back which you can see in pictures.

In 1940, Sears introduced the Harmony House brand as an interior-decorating scheme that used four basic colors that could be coordinated with each other. (The year before, Sears catalogs featured "Charm House," a similar program.) Customers were encouraged to use a color wheel that was supplied in the catalog for coordinating colors.
Harmonizing colors had long been a problem for the company. For example, rose-colored draperies made by one source might clash with a rose rug produced by another manufacturer. Each factory used its own colors, and the clashes that resulted were impeding the company's sales of home furnishings.
In response to customer demand, Sears eventually expanded Harmony House's palette to include 18 colors that they considered to be the most attractive to customers. Each color came in light, medium, and dark shades.
Harmony House colors were: Tuscan Rose and Wine, Valley Rose, Federal Gold, Cherry Pink and Red, Jubilee Peach, Spice Beige and Brown, Colonial Blue, Sage Green, Aquamarine, Chartreuse, Dawn Gray, Mint Green, Pacific Blue, Sunshine Yellow, Parchment Ivory, Beige, and Brown, Victorian Pink, Rose, Red and Wine, and Malibu Peach, Coral and Rust.
The Harmony House style and color system was not merely limited to carpets and paints, either; the entire house could be furnished according to the colors. Almost any household item could be bought to fit the Harmony House schemes, including: covered upholstery fabrics, draperies, slipcovers, desks, bookcases, bedroom furniture, sheets, towels, table lamps, wall paints, clothes hampers, canister sets, boudoir lamps, shower curtains, garment bags, chenille spreads, dinnerware, wallpaper, lounge chairs, dinette sets, living room sets, mirrors, carpeting, tile, and appliances
