Description

A 1940’s Art Deco automaton clock by Vitascope Industries.

This fantastic clock was made in Ramsey on the Isle of Man in circa 1940 and there is an example of one in the Manx Museum.

The clock has an automated rocking ship on an illuminated ocean scene with cloud background. The ship rocks with the lit background changing from sunrise to sunset by with vibrant colours. It is encased in the original and rare green Bakelite case with chrome Art Deco dial and hands.

The ship is thought to be a replica of the famous Star of India, which was built in Ramsey in 1863.

In full working order, rewired in period style braided flex and PAT safety tested. In excellent condition; the case free from chips or cracks. The Perspex aperture with some minor scratching to left hand side, commensurate with age and use. This is an excellent example.

There is a £50 delivery charge on this item to the mainland UK
