Picked up yet another cheapy pocket watch that is interesting.
It's a 16s Ingersoll from 1920's (?)and marked Crown on the paper dial and where Made in USA should be down at the 6 it has the word Foreign. The movement itself is not the regular USA version, but higher grade similar to a Reliance, but not Jewelled.
Any ideas?

First image shows face.

Here's the movement.

For comparison, here is the US version made for the UK market.

US version for UK market with simpler dollar watch type of movement.

Here's another Crown.

And its movement with the London UK warranty paper.

So from the front my Crown looks like any other paper dialed dollar watch. Yet the movement is not. Here is a 7 Jewell Reliance, which isn't the same either.

I read somewhere that Ingersoll had to put the word Foreign on their products that where made for Europe from World War 1 to the end of WWII. Any truth to that?

Here's a later 1930's (?) Ingersoll marked foreign and the dial.

And here is the movement with Ingersoll Foreign on the plate that looks to be 15 Jewell.
