Item Description
2.5x4.5x1" nicely illustrated cardboard box contains wrist watch w/1.25" dia. chromed metal case. This is version w/five 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 some of the 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" and this example has had correct "Wrist" designation text inked over on top of lid and on underside, obscuring most of text. Complete w/die-cut brick insert that holds watch. Insert shows wear at die-cut opening and is Fine/VF. Box shows more obvious wear w/lid separated from hinge and 3/8x.5" side panel piece missing, lid corner split, 1.5" edge split and edge wear. Box bottom has .5" side panel split and box is just Good overall. Watch case/band retain near full bright luster and are Exc. Dial has some of the typical red fade, but other colors remain strong. Watch is tightly wound and ticks a bit, a simple cleaning should restore function. One of the rarest and most sought after Disney timepieces, very rare as boxed.
