This is a very cool looking clock. I don’t know what year it’s from. I can’t find any information on it. It is super cool super retro. It is metal. You have to set the back with a little tiny screwdriver. Once you have set it, you can forget it. It runs fine works great, the alarm setting button works fine you can set the alarm. It is run by two AA batteries it is blue green, orange and brown. Very cool.
