Animated Sweetheart Clock

I have an animated clock by United Metal Mfg. Co. My parents ran a truck stop/restaurant near Springfield, Mo. called Seven Gables in the 1940's-1950's. I think they sold gift type items there too. The clock is a left over from those days.

My Mother gave it to me several years ago and I recently unpacked it. The clock still keeps time, it plays music and the boy and girl sitting on the swing inside a heart carved in a tree still move too. Any knowledge about its value or collection popularity?
