Roosevelt memorabilia in excellent original condition. This bronzed finish pot metal case is in excellent condition (only minor loss of finish). The case has a patent date of the 1940. It represents the statue of Franklin Roosevelt sailing the ship of state, and with the motto: "FDR The Man of The Hour" Best part of this clock is the original automaton dial, on which the colors are still vibrant the bartender shakes a Martini while the clock runs well. United made many electric models, but this clock is wound from the rear. Our estimate is modest to encourage bidding. Height 14 inches
