Vintage 1960s Wind Up Mao Zedong Chinese Alarm Clock Flip Calendar Retro Collectable

Vintage Metal Chinese made Alarm Clock With Flip Calendar.

Believed to have been made as a propaganda piece during the Communist days of Chairman Mao or Mao Tse-Tung.

Oval base with a lovely wind up mechanism clock, with a perpetual flip calendar mounted along side.

Gold coloured hands with a second hand made of grey plastic, in the form of a jet plane with a curving vapour trail.
A small window below No. 12 shows the alarm time.

There is supposed to be a woman's arm going back and forth (above no.5) every second. The arm has fallen off the mechanism, but it is present and loose behind the glass - this is a low cost repair to the right person (price reflects).

This is a beautiful collectable alarm clock, with expected age related patina from over the years, adding to it's lovely character.
The clock appears to work as it should when wound, but it would more than likely benefit from a good service.

Approximate measurements:
Base: 14.5cm x 8.5cm
Height: 13cm
