WATCHMAKER OR JEWELER POCKET WATCH SHAPED ADVERTISING STREET SIGN

Description

For sale is an advertising sign in the shape of a pocket watch with a real nice box-hinged gold colored case.  This is a sign I've owned about 25 years and really hate to get rid of it, but I can only take so many things with me in that small box. The watch advertises Bell Jeweler, but I do not where the business was located when this sign was used on the street.  The watch is 27 in, high from the top of the loop to the bottom of the case, is 18 in. wide across the center (3 to 9 o'clock) of the clock and weighs approximately 25 pounds.  The unlabeled side of the clock appears to be original and the "Bell Jeweler' side appears repainted-I suspect being placed outside in the weather was hard on the dial's finish.  The dial itself is made of zinc and the case is made of some other hard metallic material.   This sign is a great advertising piece and difficult to find, especially one in a nice box-hinged watch case as this is.  Please look at the pictures and decide for yourself what the condition is--the only part I see that is not original is the repainted advertising side of the dial, which you might want to repaint with your personal advertising anyway). I see no damage other than a little paint loss and dust (no charge for that).  Please ask any questions you have and I'll try to answer.  Thanks for looking.
