Vintage Hanna-Barbera (M - Z) Character Watches

It's always time for character watches...Watches with Character.

Vintage Hanna-Barbera (M - Z) Character Watches

Vintage Muttley & Dastardly, Pebbles Flintstone, Pebbles & Bamm Bamm, Peter Puck, Quick Draw McGraw, Scooby Doo, Top Cat, Yakky Doodle Duck, Yogi Bear, Yogi & Boo Boo character watches.


Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. was founded in 1957 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. They dominated the animation industry for over 30 years creating a wide variety of popular animated characters and cartoon series. Sold to Taft Broadcasting in the mid-sixties and then to Turner Broadcasting in the nineties and eventually absorbed by Warner Brothers Animation. Many of their character watches were produced in the 1970s with large, thick MOD wrist bands and are rare finds today.

"Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines" was a cartoon that aired September 1969.  Dick Dastardly and his dog sidekick & always snickering Muttley try to catch Yankee Doodle Pigeon who carried secret messages, hence the title theme "Stop the Pigeon".

Here is a super rare Muttley & Dastardly from the Wacky Races with Muttley and Dastardly wearing their flying gear in their pink flying machine on a sky blue background with black numbers and the planes propellers to tell the time. Swiss made 1972 and marked 1972 Hanna Barbera Prod Inc. for this amazing find.  
The Flintstones was a cartoon set in the Stone Age and aired September 1960. It was the first animated series to hold a prime time spot. I've only seen watches for Fred, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm.

Here is a 1972 Pebbles Flintstones by Bradley again with their standard Swiss movement. Pebbles is dressed in green tiger print with her hair up in a white bone on a white background black numbers and black minute marks. Notice they moved her head up so it isn't in the exact middle which makes her body seem "disconnected". I've seen both with her hands and without as the hands of the watch, but probably should have them since she has none without them. Marked H. B. P. 1972

In 1978, Picco produced this plastic watch with Pebbles & Bamm Bamm, a 7-jewel movement with Pebbles & Bamm Bamm dressed in their regular tiger skins sitting on the grass smelling flowers and watching a butterfly on a white background with green number, green hands and a thin silver second hand. Marked 1978 Hanna Barbera Production Inc. – Singapore
Here is a 1973 super rare Peter Puck for the NHL, a concept by NBC executive/NY Rangers ticket holder Donald Carswell who partnered with Hanna- Barbera to help introduce hockey to kids. Here is smiling Peter Puck with a large yellow mouth on a gray face and big eyes & eye brows, wearing red skates all on a white background with black numbers, black minute marks, a red second hand and his red gloved hands to tell the time. What a prize! Marked Swiss made, 1973 Hanna Barbera Productions Inc. I've include this on my Sports Blog also. Very few of these around.

Quick Draw McGraw was the third cartoon created by Hanna-Barbera making its debut in 1959. A good but sometimes dim horse with a deep cowboy voice who spoofed the popular westerns of the time. 
In the 1960s, Bradley produced this rare Quick Draw McGraw watch. Quick Draw is shown in his red cowboy hat and light blue bandana with his grey gun belt and musical notes coming from his mouth on a white background with blue numbers, black minute marks and black hands to tell the time. Swiss made with the same standard Bradley movement at the time (see Yogi and Huckleberry Hound). Quick Draw, Bozo and Pinocchio are the hardest to find from these Bradley Time 1963 watches.
 
  In 1974 this super rare Quick Draw McGraw watch was produced for Hanna-Barbera. Quick Draw is shown in his standard red cowboy hat and light blue bandana with his red gun belt on a white background with black numbers, his gun filled hand for the minute hand and his other hand for the hours along with a thin red second hand to tell the time. Marked Hanna-Barbera productions Inc. 1974 with a Swiss movement.  
 In the 70's, Citizen produced this wonderful green plastic Quick Draw McGraw watch for the Japanese market. Here you have Quick Draw McGraw riding a blue scooter out to right a wrong while he's got his gun in one hand and wearing his grey hat and grey gun belt saying "This is my business" on a white background with black numbers, thin silver hands including a second hand with a blue star near the end of it to tell the time. Marked Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc.


Scooby Doo, created in 1969, was a Great Dane and main character who was friends to Shaggy Rogers who treated Scooby like a brother & best friend. They formed “Mystery, Inc." with Daphne Blake, Fred Jones, and Velma Dinkley and solved mystery’s but the truth is Shaggy and Scooby preferred to sit around and eat.  
Here we have a rare Scooby Doo made by American Time from 1970. Scooby is smiling with his tongue out wearing a blue collar on a yellow background with black numbers and his arms to tell the time. One jewel Swiss made & marked "Scooby Doo" and 1970 Hanna Barbera Prod, Inc.


 
 
 
These came in nice presentation boxes with Scooby and the mystery van on it. Watches are rare (box is super rare today) ....and came with large, thick MOD watch bands of the 1970's.



 



Below is the same watch with a white background again with Scooby Doo made by American Time from 1970 with moving arms, Swiss made one jewel & marked "Scooby Doo" and 1970 Hanna Barbera Prod, Inc. I'm not sure why they changed to a white background.
 
This slightly smaller (most likely woman's watch) rare Scooby Doo was also made by American Time from 1970. This time Scooby is walking with a goofy look and his tongue hanging out on a yellow background with black numbers and now with regular black hands to tell the time. One jewel Swiss made & marked "Scooby Doo" and 1970 Hanna Barbera Prod, Inc.

  
Here we have two SUPER RARE 1978 Scooby Doo's made by American Watch Co. with the same "walking" Scooby dial as the previous version but this time with high quality 17 jewel Swiss movements and non-colored backgrounds, very nicely made, probably for executives at Hanna-Barbera (i've only ever seen three of these high end ones).
                                                       Marked H.B. P. and on the back    "Incabloc". Two of my favorite finds.

 Also in 1978, Picco produced this plastic Scooby Doo 7-jewel movement watch with Scooby in his usual blue collar is "walking" in scary scene with a ghost, moon and tree in the background all on a white background with brown numbers, yellow hands and a thin silver second hand.

Same dial graphics as the plastic model above but in a metal case. Marked 1978 Hanna Barbera Production Inc. - Singapore. What a super Scooby Doo find!
 
In 1984, Images of Los Angeles produced this rare Scooby Doo marked 1984 Hanna Barbera Productions Inc. Scooby is looking confident in a seated position with his blue collar on a white background, black numbers and gold hands including a gold second hand to tell the time. These were limited to 500 and came with a note thanking the employees of DFS Program Exchange for a very successful year.

In 1998, Warner Bros. Studio Store sold this Scooby Doo manual wind pocket watch (or clip watch) with waging tail. Scooby has a big grin sitting with his blue collar on a white background, black numbers and silver hands including a silver second hand to tell the time while his tail wags up and down to tick off the second.
 The back is nicely engraved "The Warner Bros. watch collection signed exclusively for the Warner Bros. Studios Store WB 17010333"

Here is a 1960's or '70s rare Yakky Doodle Duck, a standard Swiss made electronically timed movement by unknown maker. Most likely an unlicensed watch.

It's always time for character watches...Watches with Character.

Dizzy Dean, (January 16, 1910 – July 17, 1974) was an American professional baseball pitcher who played for St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, and St. Louis Browns. In 1934, he was the first sports star to be portrayed on a character watch when Everbrite Watch Company produced a full figure image of Dean pitching with a facsimile of his signature and a small second hand dial between his legs. Hard to find today especially with the original box.

In 1935, Ingraham produced a 17-jewel wristwatch with just the name “Babe Ruth” on the dial and a nice picture of him and a baseball on the box only, all for $14.95. 

In 1948, Exacta Time Corporation produced the Official Babe Ruth wristwatch even endorsed by Joe DiMaggio. A chest up picture of Ruth holding two bats is centered on a baseball diamond with a green field background and three red baseball plates along with a facsimile of his signature. The luminous numbers are off white on an outer circle with a white background with outer minute marks and with the five-minute numbers showing on an inner circle which also has black minute marks. There is a red second hand and luminous hour and minute hands to tell the time. These came in a plastic baseball (see below) also with a facsimile of his signature on it and the watch contained inside. In 1992, this was reproduced with a quartz movement.

Plastic baseball and especially the simple box it came in are hard to find today. 

In 1956, Bradley produced this Junior League Baseball watch for the kid’s market. It has a boy dressed in his baseball uniform with hat and shirt ready to swing his baseball bat in the center of a large baseball as the background with black numbers, black minute marks on a green background and black hands to tell the time. Bradley produced a Junior Nurse to appeal to girls at the time, see my 1930-1950's blog.

In the late 1950's and early 1960’s, Bradley produced several more sports watches for kids.

Bradley produced this All-Star baseball with a green background with black minutes, black minute marks and black hands with white tips to tell the time. The image of the baseball has a facsimile of the signatures of four All-Stars, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax. Marked Swiss made. Bradley also produced this with a black background (see below) & both usually without the Sandy Koufax signature, having it is more rare.
