I’ve written about Yoo-Hoo a few times on the blog before and am super interested in the 1959 Yoo-Hoo set and 1959 Yoo-Hoo Mickey Mantle card, but this example of a Yogi Berra Yoo-Hoo clock is a first for me!
Mastro sold this specific example in November 1999 for $1,357. They described it as being 12” x 29” and still in working condition with the original cord. However, they wrote that it had a crack on the side panel. They assumed that it was used in retail stores in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
I’ve found three other sales, and it’s tough to compare, and they may all be unique.
Lelands sold the following copy for $1,503 in October 2016. They said it worked perfectly. They added that the clock was only available commercially.
Heritage sold the next fully functional one for $1,260 in August 2019, and they included a photo of the back.
Most recently, REA sold a copy for $1,320 in the spring of 2021. They said the clock worked, but the light did not. They described the clock as a 1960s point-of-sale advertising clock and noted that it was intended to be hung at retailers as an additional advertisement for the popular drink.
