Description: This is a Rare Vintage Working 1950's Mastercrafters #119 "Swinging Girl" Animated Lighted Bakelite Mantel Shelf Clock, Made by the Mastercrafters and Radio Company of Chicago Illinois USA. This Clock is also Known as "Mantel Swing Time" and "Girl on Swing", and/or the "Swing Girl". This Has an Electric Clock Movement, Made by the Sessions Clock Company. This is an Animated Clock and When The Clock is Plugged in The Girl on The Swing Moves back and Forth, Very Unique!!! There is a Switch to Turn the Light on in the Lower Section to Illuminate the Swinging Girl. This is an Early Mastercrafter's Clock and is The First One in The Animated Clock Series. The Case is a Bakelite Case and Measures approx. 10 1/4" x 7 1/2" x 5". This is in Working Condition, But Has Not Been Serviced or Tested Long Term. This is in Good Used Cosmetic Condition As Pictured. Don't pass this one up! Due to the Delicate Nature of these Old Clocks, I am Selling This "As Is" . This adorable clock piece lights up and keeps time-what was noticed as she is swinging is a somewhat 'intermittent pattern/force' to her back and forth movement. Also noticed was a small chip to the side in the rear casing-does not affect operation. Please see all photos for more visual description. She is an absolutley adorable, fun timekeeper!
