This Vintage United Metal Goods Electric Ballerina Dancing Music Mantel Clock, model 870, offers a unique blend of function and whimsy with its ballerina figure. Currently, it shows the telltale signs of age and extensive use. The wooden base has surface scratches and some chips or scuffs. The plastic casing that protects the clock face and ballerina also has surface scratches. There is noticeable discoloration and uneven color throughout, alongside dirt and dust accumulation in hard-to-reach areas. The clock portion of the device has a visible crack in the wood, and there's surface rust on metal components. The ballerina figure, a key feature of this clock, has become detached from its mount. Despite these issues, the clock remains a fascinating decorative item, rich in character and history. It could serve as a distinctive conversation starter or a restoration project for enthusiasts of vintage clocks and mechanical music devices.
