Description
Vintage Mastercrafters Clock Corporation Model M-740 electric novelty clock featuring a distinctive antique Model T-style automobile design. Manufactured in the USA, this unusual decorative clock combines a classic early automobile front end with an integrated analog clock face.
The black molded housing features a textured clock dial, raised silver-tone hour markers and numerals, gold-tone clock hands, two decorative automobile headlights with clear lenses, molded front fenders, wheels, and a bumper. The upper portion resembles an antique automobile windshield and includes an opening suitable for hanging display.
The original-style electric power cord and two-prong plug are attached. The reverse is marked "MASTERCRAFTERS CLOCK CORP., CHICAGO 12, ILL." along with model M-740 and the original electrical specifications of 115V AC, 2.5W, and 60 cycles.
This clock is untested. It has not been plugged in or operated to verify whether the clock mechanism runs, maintains time, or whether the headlight illumination functions. Because operational condition is unknown, it is being offered AS-IS for collection, display, repair, or restoration.
The housing displays typical vintage cosmetic wear, including surface scuffs, scratches, dust, and finish wear. The cord shows age-related discoloration. Both clock hands and the decorative headlight lenses are present as pictured.
A unique vintage automotive-themed decorative piece suitable for a garage, workshop, man cave, retro office, or automobile memorabilia collection.
Please review all photographs carefully for exact cosmetic condition, markings, electrical cord, and included components.
