1960's Childrens clock - CL23
I have also listed this under toys, because it came as a 'build it yourself' clock kit for youngsters. Made in 1961 in the USSR it comes with the original box, and is a fully working 30 hour timepiece ( day wind, pull the chain the same as a cukoo clock). The box is tatty, please see the link below for an image, but comes with original instruction booklet and the clock is in excellent order with just some faint rubbing to the tinplate dial. The print on the dial shows what looks like a Cossak on horseback riding through the sky.A lovely working item not just novelty value. The clock will be partly dismantled for shipping,but its easy to put together, a child could do it :)
