2.5x4.5x1" nicely illustrated cardboard box contains watch w/1.25" dia. chromed metal case. This is version w/four metal link band w/clasp (watch was also issued w/leather band) and two decorative accents pieces connected to watch case, featuring image of Big Bad Wolf and Three Pigs. These accent pieces retain all black paint accents which are typically missing. Ingersoll, 1934. Box features same illustration on lid/inside lid of Practical Pig building brick house w/inset image of Big Bad Wolf. Rest features brick design. This same box was used for the Three Little Pigs pocket watch w/designation on lid "Pocket $1.50" whereas this has small store sticker w/"Wrist" designation text as originally sold. Price has been obscured by surface paper loss. Inside of lid also has added price sticker, but this is mostly missing w/just remnants remaining. Complete w/die-cut brick insert that holds watch. Insert is VF/Exc. w/just lt. wear. Box has more moderate wear w/edge/corner tip wear, but hinged lid is intact. Fine overall.

One of the rarest and most sought after Disney timepieces, very rare as boxed.
