Object description

Cabinet and External Features

The Falcon floor-standing clock radio is housed in an arched wood cabinet constructed with figured veneer. The verticality of the cabinet is emphasized by fluted columns on either side of the upper section. The visual design integrates both timekeeping and acoustic components, featuring a decorative clock dial at the top and a scrollwork speaker grille located near the base of the cabinet.

The cabinet surface shows signs of previous use and aging. The auction description reports that the wood finish exhibits scratches and scuffs.

  • “Cabinet shows scratches, scuffs and finish wear.”

Integrated Radio and Timekeeping Mechanisms

The object functions as a hybrid unit incorporating a clock and a radio. The clock dial is mounted in the upper portion of the cabinet. Below this, the radio controls are arranged on the central panel, consisting of three knobs for adjustment. The tuning bezel for the radio is explicitly marked with the manufacturer name, Falcon.

The auction description states that both the internal clock mechanism and the radio equipment remain untested. Consequently, the internal completeness of these combined systems has not been verified.

  • “Falcon name appears on the tuning bezel.”
  • “Clock and radio are untested; sold AS IS with operation and internal completeness unverified.”

The documentation does not provide specific details regarding the age of the materials, the date of manufacture, or the technical specifications of the internal clock and radio movements.

The auction house notes that the item is currently located offsite in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, requiring specific arrangements for removal, including the provision of labor and equipment by the purchaser.
