BUCK ROGERS POCKET WATCH 1935 INGRAHAM IN RARE ORIGINAL BOX - $730 - (Hightstown, NJ)

Buck Rogers pocket watch, produced by Ingraham circa 1935, complete with its exceedingly rare original box. The colorful watch face features an illustrated image of Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering, with Deering's hands holding the second-hand dial. The hour and minute hands are in the form of copper thunderbolts. An engraved image on the back of the silver-colored metallic casing pictures one-eyed Comet Man holding a shield. The watch (2 inches in diameter) is in working order but, it does stop and have to be tapped from time to time, could use a good cleaning I presume. Displays light wear, including some light scratches to the reverse. The dial looks quite nice. In Very Good to Excellent condition overall. The plating is worn off on the edges. The rare box features a different illustration of Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering on the lid, with additional illustrations of characters from the comic strip adorning the side flaps. The box is missing its original gold-colored die cut insert (which the watch rests upon, there is a poor replica black box included). It does not include the original Ingraham instruction sheet. The box (2.75 x 3 x .75 inches) is in remarkable condition. Very light wear mostly on the high ends. Two top corners split and were glued back together, this is hard to see. The bottom of the box has had no repair. This is probably one of the best original boxes you will see. Marked J.F. Dille Co. This 83 year old watch is one of the classic character watches dating from the 1930s made all the more desirable by the inclusion of the seldom-seen original box.
