The Attracto Company, Philadelphia, Penn., jeweler's advertising display, spring driven pendulum mechanism in a wood case driving a carved nodding stork figure and rotating arrow pointing to circular display of birthstones, the plaque on the front reading "They Do Stay In / Birthstones Guaranteed" and "W.W.W. Rings ".
CONDITION:
The wood case is in good condition with very minor scratches to the edges and corners. The stork figure is missing a little yellow paint in its legs and some white paint on its wing. Four of the simulated gemstones on the front are absent. The unsigned spring driven movement with primitive escapement is dirty, but works quite well. When fully wound, the sign will operate for several hours.
