From the Bernie Kallman Collection...
Another great shot from the classic Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Clown Alley, Bernie Kallman with his oversized blinking binoculars. Many contemporary clowns have a foam version of these in their cache of parade props but I think that it's the fact that these look just like a pair of black metal or plastic binoculars and that they blink that really sells this one. Just having the big eyes on the end is only half the gag IMHO.

Not only did these bincs blink they also moved side to side This was one of Bernie's best walk a rounds. Only he could make it WORK.
