It runs and the eyes blink. It is unsigned, the iron case stands 14.5 inches high. Colorfully painted The original models were made in Connecticut around 1860, by Bradley and Hubbard. The series of 4 or more different cases have been very poplar over the years, hence the reproductions to satisfy the market demand.
