Vintage Mid-Century Clipper Ship Flip Clock – "CV 4:20" Novelty Transport Edition

Set sail on the high seas of timekeeping with this mid‑century wood‑and‑metal Clipper Ship flip clock, crafted circa the 1950s. Originally modeled after a classic BB (Battleship) silhouette, this proud vessel has since been humorously re‑commissioned as CV 4:20 — Clock Vessel 4:20 — the ship that’s always right on time.

Whether you see it as a vintage maritime desk clock, a wink toward “high‑seas transport,” or simply a pun‑powered piece of pop‑culture décor, this ship brings waves of charm to any shelf, bar, office, or mantle. It’s the perfect blend of nautical nostalgia and timely humor — a true conversation piece for collectors who like their décor with a little ship‑faced personality.

Condition & Restoration Notes:

• Mechanics: Non-working / sold as-is for parts, repair, prop, or display. The internal clock motor does not run, and the flip dial is stationary, set to display 4:20.

• Cosmetics: Features heavy, authentic vintage patina. The curved metal sails show significant oxidation, pitting, and loss of original plating. The carved wood hull exhibits finish wear, edge scuffs, and natural aging to the rigging wire.

• Dimensions: Measures approximately 16.5" long x 14.5" high x 3.5" wide (see yardstick photo rulers for exact scale).
