Old Bill" Car Mascot: A Symbol of Courage and Determination from the Roaring Twenties This print showcases an original "Old Bill" car mascot, produced by Louis Lejeune (Mascots) Ltd. around 1919. The black painted metal mascot, adorned with the iconic Bairnsfather Ware design, stands proudly atop a rounded plinth. The image transports us back to the Roaring Twenties, an era of innovation and rebirth following the tumultuous years of World War I. Old Bill, a cherished symbol of military history, was first introduced during the First World War as a cartoon character created by British satirical artist, Sir William Heelis (also known as "Billy" or "Bill") Bairnsfather. The character, with his distinctive monocle, pipe, and moustache, became synonymous with the spirit of the British soldier. The "Old Bill" car mascot, a testament to the enduring popularity of the character, was produced by Louis Lejeune (Mascots) Ltd. in the late 1910s. The copyrighted design, featuring Old Bill in a military uniform, was stamped onto the metal mascot, adding an air of authenticity and exclusivity. The mascot's production coincided with the growing trend of automobile ownership and personalization, making it an ideal accessory for vehicles. The Old Bill car mascot not only served as a decorative element but also as a symbol of courage, determination, and resilience, reminding drivers of the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who had fought in the Great War. This photo print, capturing the essence of a bygone era, is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of automotive design and military iconography. The Old Bill car mascot continues to captivate collectors and history enthusiasts, offering a unique connection to the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of a cherished character.
