In any event, after coating the surfaces of the yellowed plastic generously in the hydrogen peroxide containing gel, I covered the bowl with plastic wrap (to decrease evaporation) and irradiated it with bulbs on my desk. The 40 probably would work just as good, I'm sure.

I have to confess that I have access to a licensed professional who supplied me with my stuff. Typically only licensed hair care professionals can get a strength up to 50 (us lowly consumers can only purchase 40 volume). But FlipClockFans rule number two of FlipClockery states: Use the simplest and cheapest method! All you'll need is some light, and a bottle of the stuff people use to bleach their hair (hydrogen peroxide containing creme developer).Īfter disassembly, the Caslon flip clock was placed in a bowl then coated in Salon Care 50 Volume Creme Developer.

In this Google driven world of free information you'll find several alternatives for de-yellowing plastic. Before this, people had assumed that the plastic had become permanently yellowed due to age.
But "De-yellowing" plastic has been around at least since 2009 (this being performed by collectors of vintage computers among other things). Whitening flip clocks was not commonly discussed until about 2013. Turning a plastic banana clock back to it's former glory. Unfortunately, this particular formerly "frosty white" flip clock had become very, very yellowed over the approximately 45 years of it's existence. It seems somewhat quirky, not really representative of typical fonts of the period, and not really easy to read. The front of the clock face is real glass and the font face of the white on black digits is compressed, but with thick lines kind of angular and otherwise without much flair. It sits high enough up on this stand that you could wrap the cord around it (I saw that on eBay once.
It's an unusually small flip clock with unusual styling, the retangular clock face cradled by a semi-oval shaped case resting on a base that looks like a trophy stand.
This is close enough to the actual measures, but the clock's shape does not lend itself to being easily measured. The clock's advertised dimensions are 5 1/4 inches wide, 3 3/4 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches deep. The Caslon MiniMod has no other features besides the flip clock. First seen in advertising Novemthe Calson MiniMod was priced from $7.88 to $11.99 ( equivalent to $46.29 to $70.43 in 2017 dollars).
