All clocks and clock lamps were created and are handmade
in the USA
Do
you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews?
Will you be buying gifts for them?
Does it matter where those gifts are produced?
It mattered to us!
Examine
the labels on the items available in your local shops.
In
2007, when we looked for gifts for our grandchildren,
we found nothing made in the USA.
Even the printed materials were imports.
This
prompted the creation of a free-standing wooden clock puzzle
that was labor intensive—therefore, not marketable.
Although our grandchildren cherished these handmade gifts,
we knew if this approach were to be made available to the
American public we would have to create a
more viable product.
Jim and Sylvia Sheehan
initially created three adorable animal figure
table top clocks shown above. These characters are "The Time
Trio."
Our creations now include the table top
CLOCKS
and a combination table
top CLOCK/LAMP as well as a large ART CLOCK
The clocks and clock/lamps are constructed of ½” and ¼”
colored polyethylene
plastic (the same product
used to make cutting boards for the
food industry).
The
art
clock
is
approximately
12"
diameter
and
features
the
original
Time Trio.
The
main body parts of the characters have been created
using a “router crafter” machine that Jim also designed
and
built in order to make this product.
He
personally assembles all the parts.
Our
patented designs have value-added with
the application of purchased craft products that include:
#1 Quartz movement analog clocks (including a
replaceable battery),
#2 Wiggly eyes
#3 Lamp parts (including bulbs and shades).
Play-Time
Pieces is
a new company with 40-plus years of business
experience and will respond to whatever demand we create.
These
products will encourage your child to learn how to tell time
with an analog clock. Your
children will appreciate the
importance of
telling time the "old-fashioned"
way when they receive this unique gift.
