Original Description:
! Up for consideration is a vintage 1933 Franklin Roosevelt F.D.R. man of the hour clock.  Clock is in outstanding condition for its age. Clock was manufactured in 1933 by the United Electric Clock company of Brooklyn, NY. (Clock still has original United Clock movement of Brooklyn, NY installed.)

The clocks were created to celebrate President Roosevelt, a new captain at the helm so to say and to celebrate the end of prohibition.

This clock is the more highly ...sought after earlier version of the clock. It has start spin feature on the back of clock movement! With a little movement and twisting of the middle "start spin dial" the clock starts right up and starts moving and it keeps time!!

This clock keeps GOOD TIME once you plug it in and use the start spin dial to get the movement going!! The spin dial is the center dial on the back of the clock, and keeps spinning as the clock runs! This feature is only found on the earliest versions of the clock.
On the front of the clock the words " F.D.R The Man of the Hour" are written. (Roosevelt ended Prohibition in 1933. On the back their is a life preserver with the words S.S. U.S.A. written.)

The clock is in great condition and has a very nice aged patina. Item has been well cared for over many years. It's time for it to go to another home. There is a small rub mark on Roosevelt's face. This is a rub mark and not a chip. There are no chips on this clock. Item is in outstanding condition and fully functions as it should. Clock has an alarm feature as well, but I have never used that function.Purchase with confidence. I am a long time online seller. Buyer will be well pleased with this purchase.
