The Mastercrafters "Perky" Model 470 was a unique clock made from 1959-1962. This one is gold in color, and WORKS great. The clock keeps good time and the peculator light flickers red (see video). Has a few minor scuffs on face and discoloration on handle. Overall great condition. Weighs 15.2 oz Measures 7.5" Tall 7.5" Wide 3" Deep In original box!!!! Made in Chicago, IL USA Mastercrafters (originally est. 1939) went into business just after WWII and it was not until 1980 that they closed their doors. The original name was Mastercrafters Clock and Radio Company but by 1948 they abandoned the radio manufacturing business and got full blown into the novelty clock business. Benjamin Lerman was President and owner. Later, Bernie Ellman, who married Ben Lerman’s daughter, gradually assumed control of the company. Ben Lerman had been awarded several patents assigned to Mastercrafters.
