Ben, The Time Traveler Sculpture

1950's Hubley Kiddie Toy Fire Engine, doll parts, Ben-Hur Thyme tin, miniature beverages, toy dinosaur, vacuum tube, copper coil, 1956 Texas mini license plate, tiny people. While Ben appears to have started his journey through time in Scandinavia in the 9th or 10th century, it is obvious that he has visited numerous other periods, including going as far back as 150 million years ago to adopt his pet Apatosaurus and clearly spent some time in Texas in the 1950’s where here picked up his converted fire engine, as well as several additional passengers, and made a stop in 1968 to cast his ballot for Richard Nixon. It appears that he also has gone into the future, as he was able to retrofit his truck with a copper-nitrogen fuel source, which wasn’t invented until 2036, and now is back in 2024, enjoying a beer, while his little friends share a giant Starbucks latte.
