This wonderful Richard Birkett, fantasy clockmaker has constructed a fabulous and artistic fantasy clock. The clock features a metallic airplane seen flying high above, a spring with a paperclip holding an image of a tall ship in New York harbor with the Statue of Liberty in the background. There are gears and light switches and old keyboard letters that have been affixed. The clock face with roman numerals has a minute, hour and second hand and is marked "Spartus / Made In U.S.A."
Signed engraved R. Birket. on verso in the upper left corner of the back panel and there is an engraved "Open" with an arrow pointing outward to the lower right of the back placque.
Dimensions: 13 3/4"H x 10"W.
Condition: After playing with it for a few moments It began to work and then stopped. It likely needs to have a clockmaker look at it for a proper restoratioin. Either way it's a decorative wonder and presents in a wonderfully playful manner.
