Hello Yenke Peddler,
My brother had this Roy Rogers alarm clock. It is not in the greatest condition, with a bit of discoloration, but it is all together. It reads “The E. Ingraham Co. Bristol Conn USA.” Any value today?
C.
Hi Cathy,
Your brother’s alarm clock dates to the 1950s. When working, Roy and Trigger have action as well. These were very popular timepieces, acknowledging a great American icon who was a singer and actor. Value as is would be $25 for the clock, as a fixture. If it is in good working condition, it could hold a value of $80!
If you have an item for evaluation, send a clear picture with history to Yenke Peddler, Brenda Yenke, P.O. Box 361633, Strongsville, Ohio, 44136. You may also email photos and information requests for Brenda to evaluate at kenyenke@aol.com.
