When I was born in November of 1950, mother and dad had a Pekingese whose name was Chuggy. Chuggy lived until I was 17 and was more of a brother than a pet. I have loved these little four legged animals ever since then. When I got the Owl Oswald clock, while doing research on it, I discovered that they made a Pekingese model also. Pekingese, used to be the dog du jour in the 20's and 30's. Cole Porter even wrote a song by the title of "Love Me, Love My Pekingese" for the Movie "Born to Dance" with Jimmy Stewart and Elinor Powell.
I bought the Oswald Peke, the next day a Peke named Wasabi won Best of Show at the 145 Westminster Kennel Club Show.
Kali Tzu my current 13 year old Peke (last picture) approved of both.
Fabulous Oswald Pekingese clock, and your Peke pup is adorable!
Awesome clock!! Kali Tzu is a real cutie!!
I have never seen these before the mechanism must be very cool.
Love your toy and your little mate there.
Great post Russ. Thanks for sharing the photos and your story behind this part of your collection.
