This is a wonderful collectible that you can enjoy for a very long time. It is one of those treasured items that never lose their character or desirability.
This West German made unit is a Sheffield brand clock with an alarm that triggers the music box which plays DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS. You will recognize the tune when you hear it. The alarm going off also triggers the ballerina to start dancing. The ballerina dances around and around in erratic patterns making her look like she is really dancing up a storm. There are two mirrors behind the ballerina positioned at an interesting angle making it look like there are 3 ballerinas dancing when there really is only one ballerina and two mirrored images in the background.
The music box and ballerina can be stopped by simply turning a knob in back of the clock.
This clock certainly falls into the collectible novelty clock group. This style of clock is rare but I have been collecting them for many years and have several.
Everything is operating on this clock as it should. The gold trim on the sides of the clock is a metal strip. The clock case is in excellent condition with no deep scratches or cracks that I can find. The lenses are in great condition and not damaged at all. I would estimate this clock to be from the late 1950's to early 1960's.
The music box was made by the famous maker named Reuge of West Germany. They are renowned for making quality music boxes of all sizes. The music box in this clock is working great.
This item measures 3.25 inches tall by 4.25 inches wide and 2 inches deep. |
