Item Description
This rare watch is the companion model to the equally rare boys model issued in the Fall of 1937. Similarities exist in both box art and watch case/dial design. However, this watch has a different metal link band w/clasp and was issued w/charms. Box is totally different size/shape from the boys model and is 2.5x5x1-3/8" deep. Lid features great full body image of Mickey Mouse w/top hat and cane and wearing wristwatch, slightly different version of this image appears on underside of lid. Complete w/die-cut insert which has original issue price of $3.95. Insert has some wear at areas that held watch and is missing two small tabs (not noticeable w/watch in place). Plain box bottom has handwritten note in blue ink noting watch was given as a replacement for watch that was a 1939 Christmas present that was broken. Scattered edge/corner tip wear. Lid was once attached to box bottom w/paper at top edge, but this has since separated and lid has corner tip wear w/moderate surface paper wear along bottom side edge but remains tight with strong color. Box is Fine overall. Watch has 1x1-3/8" chrome luster case, dial features full body image of Mickey Mouse w/animated hands, second hand disc features single image of Mickey that revolves as seconds tick. This is the 1937-1938 model as this second disc was later replaced w/a standard second hand in 1938-1939. Thin metal link band (w/total of 17 small links) has to enameled brass two-dimensional charms attached on first link of each band. Each charm is nearly 1" tall and one depicts Mickey while the other depicts Minnie. Charms retain near full paint and are VF overall. Case shows lt. wear but retains much luster. Dial has minor wear and even aging but is o/w bright and clean. Running and VF/Exc. One of the best, rarest and most sought after of all Mickey Mouse timepieces.
