Description
Condition: This is a painted cast aluminum copy of the Bradley and Hubbard 1875 original. The movement appears to be from an American clock and mounted in this case and adapted to move the blinking eyes. Paper Swigart dial already discolored due to age. The glass in the bezel is missing. These first imported blinkers were nicer the iron dreck that come now from China (they really only need some subdued painting). Ht 16.5" [41.9 cm]
