Description: ANIMATED CLOWN ALARM CLOCKS GDR (East Germany) Clown EYES MOVE alarm clock - Made by Ruhla circa 1960s-1980s - Working Condition - Hard to find body style and color 5” Tall 4” length 2” width Tested and time is accurate and alarm does go off. This now hard-to-find Ruhla desktop clock was made between 1963 and the 1980s. It features the Made in GDR (German Democratic Republic) mark and contains a white cream face, blue metal body, white push button alarm and a handle for easy transport. Self-winding with a quietly rhythmic tick tick tick, both the alarm and the dials are in working order and keep accurate time. In wonderful working condition. All the gears and dials turn smoothly. The clock sits securely on a tabletop with no wobbling. The cover is clear with aged wearing. Metal in great shape for age. When wound, the clock has a soft ticking sound. The alarm bell is loud but not obnoxious - more like a medium volume tin-sounding bell rather than a loud clanking-emergency-style bell. HISTORY OF BRAND RUHLA Animated windup alarm clocks were made in the early/mid 20th century by various companies in many countries, including Canada, the United States, Great Britain, France, and Brazil. These animated clocks were originally sold for use by children, but have become very collectible by "kids of all ages" today. Some early rare models are worth hundreds of dollars. Made by Ruhla, the famous watchmaking company that was in operation from 1862-1991, this little time traveler is now hard to find among vintage East German clocks.
