This rare Hartland Large Champ clock dates to about 1949-1950. It was made for the Mastercrafters Clock and Radio Company who originally commissioned Hartland to make a horse clock before switching to Breyer later in 1950. Hartland made two different horses to stand over the clock, the Victor from which the Breyer Western Horse was copied, and this much more rare Champ. Very few Champ clocks are known to collectors. The mold was probably inspired by Saddlebred parade horses in the 1940s.
