Here's a photo of the 'Conquerors Flags' made by the Automatic Novelty Company of London,circa 1916.There is one also pictured in the book Automatic Pleasures by Nic Costa,but you will notice it has been incorrectly titled 'Allies Flags'.

My own research has revealed that this rare 'Clown Catcher' was infact produced by Phoenix Manufacturing Company of Birmingham cica 1920's. I believe the Union Jack was added as a symbol of victory following World War 1.
