Good Morning Fellow Collectors. I mentioned this clock yesterday and thought I'd share...... This clock was designed with the repeal of Prohibition in the United States(Twenty first Amendment). This was produced by Lux Clock MFG. circa 1933 and known as "Happy Days". There are two variants, one plain and one with the title below the 12 o'clock marker. The graphics are "Animated" with a cam style lift on the arm of the Man on left side. The beer mug is lifted to his mouth in steps and drops when cam is at full lift.
Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy seeing this.
Kerry
Thank you Perry, always very appreciated!!
Howdy Mike, Thanks for all the loves and support, very appreciated!!
You're welcome Kerry :)....while you were away I found this really nice Waterbury wind-up novelty clock about 3 weeks ago. I opened it and tried some clock oil. It will tick for a bit and stop even though it's tightly wound. Then I couldn't get the hands back on. Hope I didn't break or loose something. Do you think it's cost effective to have it repaired ?

Good Day Eye4, thanks for dropping in :-)
Wonder what they are saying
I'd bet on...... "Hey did you hear about Joe? His wife won't let him come out tonight"
Or the same thing as all men do.....talk about women and beer all day at work and when off work....talk about work all night :-)
Lol. Never heard that before, so true.
great clock !!!
Eye4, I wouldn't know......oops, maybe I do LOL
Happy Daze
Thanks Sean, ole buddy :-)
Eye4.... I watch this clock and don't know how that guy on the left is still standing, he takes a drink 6 times a minute and doesn't seem to stammer him at all
Your very welcome Kerry!!!! :)
The ultra rare variant has a second cam by his feet.
LOL, I'll be on the look-out for that one :+)
Do you know anybody that has an apple watch ?
Thanks Everyone for all the loves and support, very appreciated!!
