A Vitascope electric automaton ship clock, cream bakelite case, 33cm high
£300-500

Condition:
Series of old rubs at centre of dial; otherwise visually good; when switched on, (image with light on has reflection); the single-colour backlight goes on, the ship moves up and down only when the rear screw is manually turned, not moving on it’s own; timekeeping inoperative. No key, just a button that turns. Dial hands secured correctly. Believed to be original motor. Three screws to backplate missing.

Sold for £650
