These support a simple "Dollar" watch mechanical movement with sweep second hand. Produced circa 1974. There is a wristwatch variant of these, but the hour and minute hand are shaped has shovels.
    Thanks for looking and hope you've enjoyed seeing this one.

    5. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      In 1974, I just do not recall any firends having even watches, let alone character watches .... Interesting
    6. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      LOL. Eye4....sheltered childhood :-)
    7. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      Not sure .... Our dads had watches I remember ... What age would a kid have this ?
    8. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      Eye4, just joking......I wore a mickey watch all through High school, was very common in St. Joseph, Mo. in the late 60's-ear;y 70's to have a Mickey or Large "Mod" style watch
    9. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      Example of a watch and age category, would be a Cub Scout watch, Brownie watch ect.... ages 8 years old and up
    10. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      Patches, we put character patches on our jeans and jean coats ...
    11. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      "Keep on Truk'n" and Peace signs were also popular
    12. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      And Neil Young wore a hat just like Smokey ....
    13. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      Yep ... I do not think I was in a hurry to have a watch ... That usually meant you had to be somewhere ...
    14. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      must been your geography,,,,I remember most of my friends having some sort of watch when they were 14-15 years old
    15. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      Rule on my block ... Ditch the watches .... "I didn't know late it was mom, we were not near a clock !"
    16. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      Either a watch or ID bracelet was worn by 3/4 of my age group in school
    17. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      lol....we didn't need exact time....be home when the first street light came on.....
    18. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      Street light rule was bendable .... Leave when they come on? Be home before they are on? Leave when they come on but walk real slow? I forgot to look up ?
    19. eye4beauty eye4beauty, 9 years ago
      Hey, love your watch here !

      Clearly Eye you caused your Mum stress! Always an answer lol.
      I don't remember any of us wearing watches until we started work. I might have if character watches were big here but I don't remember them much in Aus.
      Too cool.... thanks Kerry
      (Kids these days never wear watches, they use their phone. Booooring)
    25. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      Thanks race4four, I went to while still in school, worked weekends and after school hours, might explain why I had one earlier..

      Isn't there a time period when the name changed from "SMOKEY Bear" to SMOKEY "The" Bear??? I remember an elderly lady telling me that a few years back but never looked into it. Just wondering if you knew.
    28. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      Hello shareurpassion, Smokey Bear is always the correct.....in 1952 a song was produced titled Smokey the Bear....the word "the" was to keep the beat...lol Thanks for stopping by
