the dial bezel is absent; original body paint is chipped and worn on the head, discolored on the body. Eyes are dark from fly specs. There is one of these in the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol Conn., on which the crown was missing and was restored with a tin approximation. This and the owl are the 2 rarest blinkers known.
