EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an antique Old Bill car mascot, a cherished relic from the roaring twenties. Produced by Louis Lejeune (Mascots) Ltd. around 1919, this metal Old Bill sculpture stands proudly atop a wooden socle, resting on a metal plinth. The Old Bill mascot, a popular figure during the World War I era, is a humorous representation of a British soldier, with a pipe clenched between his teeth and a jaunty, cockaded hat perched on his head. The Old Bill mascot was a symbol of good luck and protection for motorists during the early days of automobile travel. This particular piece, copyrighted as R2669204, is an exquisite example of Bairnsfather Ware, a collectible and highly sought-after decorative art style that emerged during the post-war period. Bairnsfather Ware, named after the famous British cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, who created the Old Bill character during World War I, is characterized by its intricate details, vibrant colors, and whimsical themes. The Old Bill mascot, with its enduring charm and nostalgic appeal, continues to captivate collectors and history enthusiasts alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of innovation, adventure, and hope, as the world adjusted to the aftermath of the First Great Military Conflict. The Old Bill car mascot, with its enduring legacy and timeless appeal, remains a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human race and the enduring allure of the open road.
