I have been trying to research this pocket watch and haven't found another box like this one. What I have read says that the original pocket watches sold for $1.50, but this box says $1.25. Does anyone have any other info about it. I need to go back to it and look at the seriel number etc. that are inside the watch.
Any info would be appreciated.

Very nice ! Kerry our resident Mickey watch expert will be on shortly and can ID it for it :-) Thanks for sharing !!
This box is for a 1939 Donald Duck Ingersoll pocket watch.
Thanks- Very interesting - wonder whatever happened to the Donald Duck watch????
Will have to find some one who needs the D.D. box to go with their boxless watch.
Ollie, by the way, your watch is a 1933/34 short stem Mickey. From this picture appears to be in very good condition. Nice piece. The DD box itself is a collectors item. Put it on eBay and you should be able to find a buyer.
