This watch in this style case was introduced in 1938 but w/silver luster case. This is the much rarer "Gold Electro-Plated" case variety produced from 1939-1942 and issued in several slightly different box varieties. This is the first box variety from 1939 identifiable as such due to the rectangular shape of the clear plastic lid which does not have red stripes on right/left sides. This plastic cover includes "Ingersoll Mickey Mouse" text on front edge, Mickey and Minnie portraits on the top. This fits over cardboard box bottom complete w/insert and original guarantee folder. Plastic lid has one .5" corner split and but other corners remain tight. Box bottom has some corner tip wear. Fine overall. The watch has 1x1.5" metal case and original brown leather straps which show wear from use and are VG. Small scattered traces of gold luster wear but much bright luster remains. Dial features full body image of Mickey Mouse, whose animated hands point to numerals. Dial has trace of aging. Watch has been overwound and is not running. Fine overall. We have sold higher grade examples of this watch for in excess of $3,000. A highly sought after character timepiece.
