While attending a peddler's fair I came across this Art Deco style Winston watch. It's a bit on the dirty side, since it was in a pile of old watch dials and parts. It's an inexpensive watch, base metal case with a metal dial. The movement is inexpensively constructed but has a regulator. The watch dial says Winston, 7 jewel, Made in USA.
Anyone else seen these and have any information. The watch runs and keeping a fairly accurate time. All this for $3.00!

Thanks Linell, I thought it was a pretty cool piece for the money.
Here's the movement...

And the dial.

That is an Ingersoll ww. At the 95 Million SN, that would put it right near the end of Ingersoll production in 1944. That is just before Ingersoll was bought by US Time Corp (Timex).

Thanks Tom. Though an inexpensive watch, it keeps great time. Gained <2min. in 24 hours.I think it's a nice deco design.
With that many Ingersolls produced , is there any collector value?

Mike, There are dollar watch collectors that would show interest in something like this. We're not talking a whole lot of money, but you could sell it for more than what you paid for it.

Tom

Thanks once again Tom, I guess what I menat was collector interest. I figured it didn't have any real "value" like many other watches. I think I'll hold on to it as an interesting addition to my collection.
I assume there were other names that Ingersoll displayed on their watch dials. Does anyone know a good book on Ingersoll's watches that may provide a collecter addional information on these doller wathes?
