243.             $500

Bradley & Hubbard “Banjo Player”, ca. 1870. A second blinking eye clock, this one also in very original condition and running properly.  The Banjo Player is perhaps the most common blinking eye clock, with many reproductions.  I believe the paint on this example is original, with a polka-dot shirt, brown striped pants, and a red and gold vest.  The dial glass is likely original, as is the paper dial; the hands are replacements. The 30-hour lever movement is unsigned, running, and the original eyes are bobbing.  There is no foundry or maker’s stamp on the base.   $500-$900.
