Hello All,

I found this recently and tried searching for similar types, i found nothing like this, so im wondering if you could tell me what it is and its worth.

Markings on the clock face say:

Europa
2 Jewels









Thank You,
Aaron

From what I can see, traveling alarm clocks such as this have been around since the early 1930's (possibly earlier). I would guess that yours is much more modern (estimating that it was probably made post 1950 - by the look of the dial face). From what I can find on the "net", Europa was producing these types of clocks post 1950 (which would support my guess). That being said, this information was gleaned from the internet (so credibility is always a factor).

Many auctions I saw sell these types of clocks for $10 - $80 dollars (US) depending on condition, rarity, etc. When looking at other Europa made, 2 jewel travel clocks, most barely exceed the $20 mark as a starting bid. Try searching under "Europa Travel Alarm Clock". This should yield you some results and may help you identify your travel alarm clock.
