[FULLY TESTED] VINTAGE HEINZ TOMATO KETCHUP "PIANO ALARM CLOCK" - BOXED W/ SONGBOOK
Condition: Used / Vintage (Verified Fully Functional) Brand: Benchmark Clock Co. / Heinz Promotional Movement: Japanese Quartz Movement (Japan Mov't) Power: 2x AA Batteries (Included!)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Add a splash of kitsch to your desk or nightstand with this rare Heinz Tomato Ketchup Piano Alarm Clock. This isn't just a piece of nostalgia; it is a fully functional, professionally inspected example of 1980s Modern Americana. Styled as a vibrant red grand piano, this 14-key electronic instrument doubles as a fully functional alarm clock.
Produced by the Benchmark Clock Co. of Riverside, CA, this is a quintessential piece of late 20th-century advertising memorabilia. It features the iconic Heinz 57 glass bottle graphic on the dial, framed by a bold red ABS plastic case.
KEY FEATURES
* 14-Key Electronic Piano: Fully playable keys labeled with numbers for easy learning.
* Dual Alarm Modes: Choose between a classic buzzer or a built-in melody.
* Complete Set: Includes the original Mini Song Book, User’s Manual, and the original retail box.
* Integrated Pen Stand: Features two slots on the "piano lid" to hold your favorite pens.
* Quality Movement: Outfitted with a reliable Japanese quartz movement for accurate timekeeping.
TESTING & CONDITION NOTES
This unit has been fully tested and is in excellent operational and cosmetic condition.
* Clock & Piano: Timekeeping is accurate, and every key on the 14-note piano triggers perfectly.
* Alarm: Both the melody and buzzer alarm functions are loud and clear.
* Internal: The battery compartment has been professionally cleaned and the terminals neutralized. While light vintage patina remains on the contacts, the connection is strong and consistent.
* Packaging: The original box shows light shelf wear consistent with age but presents beautifully for display.
TECHNICAL SPECS
* Dimensions: Approx. 5" x 5" x 3.5"
* Material: High-grade ABS Plastic
* Manufacturing: Assembled in China; British Design Registration No. 1043642.

SHIPPING & HANDLING
* Batteries Included: I am including two fresh AA batteries with your purchase. Note: For safety during transit and to prevent leak damage, batteries will be packaged separately and not installed in the unit.

* Fast Shipping: Ships within one (1) business day via USPS Ground Advantage.
About the Seller: At Sleepy Time Pieces, we curate and restore unique vintage timepieces and horological curiosities. Each item is physically inspected and tested to ensure it meets our standards before listing.
