Boop-oop-a-doop Neon Clock

[luckygalaaa]

I have a neon clock with the following: all white metal with red neon. Betty is in the middle of the clock with her arms in her upward diva pose - she has on red dress. Betty Boop is in red block letters (all caps) above her and "Boop-oop-a-doop!" in black script under. Neon light is separately opperated by an on/off switch on the cord.

What do you think it's worth? I can send a photo if needed.

Thanks!

Not sure of the exact age-my husband and his late wife purchased it 12 years ago at an antique shop. They were collectors of movie and music memorabelia and I'm putting together an inventory of the collection and its value. There is no information on the clock regarding a model number or when it was produced.

I'll post a picture by the end of the week.

Here are two phots of the neon clock I have. I have not been able to locate any information about this clock on-line, through the library, or bookstores. I would like to get an estimated value for the clock. If anyone has any information, I greatly appreciate it.

This is the only Betty Boop item in my husband's collection.

Thanks again,

You may ask Leonard(BoopMan).
He is the best to know about Betty Boop.

Hi,
I've seen this clock every once-in-awhile, but I never documented the details. Please look on the back, see if there is any engraved or stamped info (should be a metal back) and/or on the face, look for some fine print. Or a label on the side or back.
I believe it is mid-1990s, made by either Fantasma (they used that same image on many of their clocks and watches) or Bright Ideas.
I'll continue to check through the documentation I have, see if I can locate any additional information.
As far as value, since these were not produced in mass quantity, it's really a market-driven price, and could be anywhere from $100 - $500.

I looked through some of the catalogs I have, and I found a similar clock in a 1998 catalog. The image is not the same, but the shape and makeup of the clock look the same.
It is made by Image Time, Inc. and states "custom neon clocks". I have not checked if they have a website, but the details are:
2519 Pittsburg Rd; Perryopolis, PA 15473.
Ms Brynda Gordon
412.736.8200

So, we're looking at a mid- to late-90s clock, and I'll stick with my previous estimate of value.

Update-
Here's their website: http://www.neonclock.com/ but I searched for BOOP clocks, and none. However, almost all the clocks I see in their online store are $369.
