Antique American Clocks July 2020
521. $50
United Clock Co. “Model 550 Covered Wagon”, ca 1955. This is the most collectable of the United
Clock Co. novelty clocks. This one is not in perfect condition, however. As you can see, there are paint spots on the
wooden base; the reins have been replaced, I believe, and the driver’s whip is missing. His right arm can be turned on or off
to raise and lower the whip, but it isn’t working. The clock is working and the light, controlled by a push button on the back,
does work. These sell for over $100 on eBay when in better condition. $450-$100.
