Yuletide Challenge - Oldest Piece in My Collection

The oldest piece in my collection? I had to think about this prompt. My first thought was Brownie who I got in 1963, but the piece I am going to share is much older. 

This is the Hartland Victor Over Clock (VOC) and it was produced 1949 - 1950. 


This Hartland clock version has the horse standing over the clock; another version has the horse standing next to it. 

Breyer copied the Hartland Victor for its Western Horse and then made clocks with it in conjunction with Mastercraft in 1950 - 1953.  The Hartland and Breyer clocks can be hard to differentiate between, but with help from Sande Schneider, I was able to determine that I had indeed found a Hartland clock.

More on my lucky find can be found here.
