Tom, that is a wonderful piece of history. It just goes to show that every aspect in life seems to be and was touched by a nation in war, even the purchase of a simple wristwatch. Regards.

hi Michael; I assume it was for a civilian watch but Helbros supplied watches to the American Military as well as the Red Cross in wartime so it could have contained a military issue wristwatch

Well done Tom, you always seem to find the extaordinary!

Here is an example up for bid right now if anyone is interested. M
