Description
Title: Animated Fan Dancer Clock from the Lux Clock Mfg. Co.
Author: **
Description: Pendullete clock, made of painted molded syroco wood face and brass pendulum. Molded image of Helen Beck dancing, the fan she holds is a separate part that moves in accordance with the pendulum. Painted in white, cream, green, blue and gold. 6x4¼".Helen Beck (1904-1979) performed a popular and risqué fan dance at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. She wore a nude-colored body suit to portray an illusion of nudity and performed 16 shows a day in Chicago, under the stage name of Sally Rand. The fan on the clock face moves with the pendulum, thus the name of this model No. 335 "Animated Fan Dancer Clock." Comes with the original manufacturer's cardboard box.
