How is this for a Loaner
This is listed as a one star watch in the guide, which according to their system it would mean 2500 or so of these exist. Apparently the star is based on the loaner case but I doubt if 2500 of these ever were made.

The dial has one hair line below the seconds chapter ring.

The movement is a Ball Waltham 21 jewel.

The case back is marked Ball Watch Co. Cleveland 10, it appears to be in the same design as the other loaner I own & the same as others I have seen on the web.

The case is marked Ball Model Silveroid.

I look forward to any comments good or bad.

Yes, I just got it today, I am sure I paid more than it is worth but I thought how many time will you find a Ball in a Ball loaner case.

It also came with a box, that I need to post too.

Tom,

Nice catch. I really like the loaner case. I am still looking for an Illinois loaner watch.

I will keep an eye open for you, they guy that I bought this one from is going to be selling a BW Raymond Elgin loaner, perhaps this week. His elderly father is selling off his collection.

Great watch, Tom!! And the box, too. I think you did very well as the loaner cases don't come up very often.
