This is a really cute clock and I can imagine it in a kitchen from the late 1940s.

I have a fewl vintage and antique clocks, but not as many as I once had before selling them to an antique dealer.  I collected them before people knew they were valuable.  Some I made profit from, others not, but it was fun to use them as a collection under my Christmas tree once the children were married (but childless and away from home).  Then when the grandchildren started coming along, they were replaced by trains and toys under the tree.  

I never got into contemporary or the mid century modern which I suspect this might be classified.  

Several of mine were French or English.

Do you think they're that old?  I was thinking 60s or 70s.

@faeriemoon   Orange and yellow are definitely 70's colors.

          In the 70's I had the Harvest Gold appliances and used orange and gold in the kitchen for curtains and wallpaper.

           My mother had a novelty kitchen clock, back in the 50's.

It was a silver color frying pan with alternating bacon and fried eggs at the quarter hours, instead of numbers.

           I too think that stylized daisy clocks were more a 60's

or 70's style. I'm leaning more to 70's.

I'm pretty sure we had this clock or a very similar version  in our kitchen when I was a child.

I just saw a few of those clocks listed online and on Pinterest.

They were manufactured from 1960-1969. One was dated as 1966.

 Daisies were a very popular design in the 60's. I remember seeing them on Volkswagon buses.

My MIL passed away recently. I didn't really like her style in furniture but she had a starburst clock that I always liked. It was from the early 60's. For some reason that was the only thing in her house I liked. My husband got it for me. Now I just need to figure out where to put it.
