Disney Clock Appraisal

Disney 'Hi Ya From The Gang!' Quartz Wall Clock

This item is a vintage-style quartz wall clock featuring classic Disney characters. The clock face is a rectangular shape, primarily black with a textured, possibly speckled or marbled, finish that appears somewhat dusty or worn in the image. The upper portion of the clock displays a vibrant, colorful illustration of four iconic Disney characters: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy are depicted in a friendly group pose, while Pluto, at the far right, appears to be greeting the viewer with them. Above the characters, the phrase 'HI YA from the GANG!' is printed in yellow capital letters, indicating a friendly, informal greeting. The illustration has a somewhat raised or embossed appearance, suggesting it might be a decoupage or layered print. The clock mechanism is centrally located on the lower black section. It features gold-toned Arabic numerals '12', '3', '6', and '9' that are slightly raised, and other hourly markers are represented by smaller gold-toned studs or dashes. The hands of the clock are also gold-toned, with an hour hand, minute hand, and a thinner second hand, all in a classic, somewhat ornate design, particularly the hour and minute hands. Surrounding the center of the clock hands is a decorative starburst effect, with multiple thin gold-toned rays extending outwards. The clock is framed within its original packaging, visible along the top, bottom, and right side. The packaging is white cardboard with red text that clearly states 'QUARTZ WALL CLOCK' and 'A Quality Clock Hand Crafted in the U.S.A.' A prominent circular sticker on the top right of the packaging declares 'MADE IN THE USA'. The overall aesthetic suggests a collectible piece from the late 20th century, likely 1980s or 1990s, given the 'Made in the USA' emphasis and the style of the clock and packaging. The condition of the clock face appears good, apart from visible dust or surface grime which could likely be cleaned, and some minor scratching or wear on the character illustration, particularly a vertical mark over Mickey Mouse. The overall craftsmanship seems functional and decorative, typical of mass-produced collectible items of that era.
