Rare Vintage 1950s Spartus “Here Kitty” Tiger Wall Clock — Official Brand

This rare vintage novelty wall clock is an official Spartus production, best known for its iconic mid-century character clocks. This piece features the beloved “Here Kitty” tiger design, rendered in bold orange and black striping with expressive facial detailing and a stylized elongated body.

Produced in the 1950s, this clock exemplifies classic American mid-century novelty design—combining playful form with functional décor. The graphic clock face is integrated into the body, creating a sculptural silhouette that remains highly collectible today. Original Spartus novelty clocks are increasingly hard to find, particularly in tiger form, making this a standout example.
