Here's the three different variations of the New Haven Orphan Annie watches. From left to right: 1948 Round, 1948 Square and 1935 Square. Note the 1935 and 48 look about the same, the 48 is 25% smaller and shows a copyright logo 8 o'clock. The 35 has "Patents Pending". These are the three stylings for the "Annie" watches up until the 1970's when Picco made another Annie, with her dog on the dial also. Thanks for looking and Hope you enjoy.
