Antique American Clocks
Modern blinking eye clock, "John Bull", 1994.
A second modern cast iron reproduction of a Bradley
& Hubbard blinking eye novelty clock from the 1870's.
John Bull was the English "everyman", depicting a farmer from the
1700's, and was the subject of political satire.
This figure is sometimes referred to as "Squire".
Like #261, it
holds a quartz battery-operated movement that has a pendulum lever used to move the eyes up and down.
It is running spottily.
The paint on the figure is nicely done and there is a label on the base.
