Clocks for blinds

Blind alarm clock

The rear bell alarm clock has a white lacquered tin housing, black bar hands for hour, minute and alarm time. The black Arabic numerals 3, 6, 9, 12 and two dots in between are raised on the plastic dial so that blind people can feel the position of the hands and the dial. A clear Plexiglas disc is mounted over the center to protect and set the hands.

Manufacture: 1960s in China
