It is only the second one that I have seen in about 6 years

This is just a guess but it looks like a salesman's case to me. Are they for 18s?

Scott,
Nice looking, unique case. I have an interest in these small watch cases. Could you tell me the outside dimensions?

Here is the other one for 16 size pocket watches.
It held 16 watches but the top tray is missing

Hey Scott,

I found one of these recently, but mine has space for four 16 size and four 12 size Hamiltons. I'm having trouble posting pics since I've moved so I can't share right now. One thing I'm sure of, there is not enough room for another tray in mine. It was made for just 8 watches. Love the purple liners.

And happily filled up with two Model A 950Bs (with and without shoulders), two Canadian 992Bs, and four digital seconds 912s. Smile Wink Cool

Right out of the 1940's!
I like it!

Very nice John

I too, do like that. What are the outside dimensions?
I wonder how many other variations are out there? Edward how did you arrive at a 1940 time period for this one?
