| Here is Marvin by Bradley Time. Precocious red-headed toddler Marvin is sucking his thumb sitting peacefully lost in his own thoughts dressed in a yellow & white stripped shirt with blue jeans and his yellow shoes on a white background with blue numbers, blue minute marks and blue hands including a blue second hand to tell the time. Marked Tom Armstrong (his creator) in the middle and Fields Enterprises Inc. 1983 at the bottom of this amazing and hard to find watch. |
Here is Peter Rabbit by Bradley with Peter out in a carrot field smartly dressed in a blue jacket holding a carrot on a white background with blue numbers to match his jacket and blue hands to tell the time. Marked Bradley at the top and 1980 BTD (for Bradley Time Division) at the bottom. A hard to find watch.
Shirt Tales Bogey orangutan by Timex for Hallmark Cards Inc. 1981. Shirt Tales was created by Hallmark Cards Inc. with animal characters wearing T-shirts upon which is a message. Here is smiling Bogey with a red shirt holding out his hand on a white background with black numbers and white hands trimmed in black along with a yellow second hand to tell the time.
Shirt Tales Pammy Panda by Timex for Hallmark Cards Inc. 1981. Here is smiling Pammy jumping rope with a bright blue shirt and blue bow in hair on a white background with black numbers and white hands trimmed in black and a red second hand to tell the time. There may be other Shirt Tales watches, but I haven't seen them.
Snow White and dwarfs with moving witch hand with an apple (I think) Swiss made by an unknown maker. This non Disney Snow white is dressed in yellow with a few dwarfs around her as she leans down to get an apple with black numbers, black minute marks and black hands to tell the time.
Strawberry Shortcake by Bradley for American Greetings Corp. marked 1980. Originally created by American Greetings for cards which later became dolls, posters, products etc. Here is Strawberry Shortcake all dressed up in a huge pink strawberry hat, a white and red trimmed dress with a green bow, fancy green and white leggings and brown shoes happily greeting a fresh basket of strawberry's with her pink cat Custard all on a white background with black numbers and black minute marks and red hands to tell the time.
Here is Mr. T produced by Bradley. Mr. T, probably best known for his role in the A-Team television show (1983-1987). He is shown with hands on hips in a blue denim vest, his signature gold chains and earrings wearing green pants and detailed brown boots standing with his fierce looking dog Dozer beside him all on a white background with black numbers and black hands including a black second hand to tell the time. Marked Bradley, Ruby Spears Enterprises, Inc. and Mr. T Enterprises, Inc. and it creatively has his name Mr. T with his wrist and hand holding the T.
In
1983, Bradley Time division created two different Tarzan watches
perhaps because of the 1981 & 1984 movies. Here you have Tarzan
riding on Ape while Tarzan twirls a lass with a circular jungle scene
and the Tarzan logo behind them all on a white background with brown
numbers, brown minute marks, black hands including a black second hand
