A common set of hands on the 21J Crescent st. are Spade/Straight Javelin type I have on one of mine.

The rest of this one . . . early

Roger, I'd think you would want something a little bolder, considering the bold "boxcar" style dial that's on it. Spade and poker. But definitely not blue moons. Those are for a dress watch. Regards, Brad

This (all three hands became popular in the 1930's

Hello Roger, I just acquired a 16s Crescent Street hunter in a silveroid case. A very attractive case and a fine movement. Mine has the hands Dave referred to and I agree with Brad that the moon hands are for a dress watch. Of course your nice watch may have been someones "Sunday go to meeting" watch. Andy might have hands for your watch.

I agree looked a little"sissified"with the moons on such a bold dial.I have changed them to something a little more "manly"looks a lot better.Thanks everyone ROGER

LOL! They don't look too "sissyfied" on my Burlington! However, the dial on that seems to compliment the moons, and it is what it came with. Regards, Brad

I don't think they look that sissy on my Waltham Vanguard 23j wind indicator either, but who am I to say, it's the way it came.

I think it all depends on the style of dial a particular watch is sporting. Brad

I was just having fun,
Bill

I know. Brad
