Playhouse Cat Wall Clock - PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOUSE (1986 - 1991)


A cat wall clock from the children’s television series Pee-wee’s Playhouse. The black-and-white plastic Kit Cat Klock comes from the California Clock Company and has been bedazzled by production with sequins on the bowtie, nose, ears, paws, clock face, and movable white eyes. A white cord wrapped in a rubber band dangles from the side. The clock is in very good, production-used condition overall. It is missing its hands and swinging tail, which were most likely removed during production for continuity, and the plug is cut off the cord rendering it non-functional (though indicating it was hard-wired into a lighting board and functional during production, and perhaps could work again).

Pee-wee Herman, the fun-loving, child-like alter ego of Paul Reubens, spends his days in a house known as the Playhouse. The clock appears as on-set decoration in Pee-wee’s kitchen over the course of the series, including in the background throughout the episode ‘Conky’s Breakdown’ (501).

Dimensions: 3” x 8” x 8 ½” (7 ½ cm x 20 ½ cm x 21 ½ cm)

Provenance: Mr. Paul Reubens
