Kerry 10456 posted a very nice example of a 1939 Lone Ranger watch with the original box a few months ago - http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/68624-1939-lone-ranger-pocket-watch. This one is slightly different to his with much less colour and graphics on back cover sticker. I believe there is one more version with copyright logo and date on the bottom of the sticker.

Nice that you've got the pistol fob, this is variant #2 great find, don't see to many of these.
Thanks Kerry! I was a little scared to find an Ingersoll or Ingraham when I opened the back but luckily, this watch has the same movement as the Skeezix! lol
That backs up Dave's call on the "New Haven" works on the Skeezix. I still betting the "reference" books are mistaking and nobody has ever questioned them.
Kerry, just an observation - have you noticed that Lone ranger is holding his cowboy hat using his 'right' hand on my watch and using his 'left' on your watch. Also the graphics printed on your original box is identical to the graphics on my watch.
No George hadn't noticed the graphics between the box and yours, until now. I guess I'll see(research) if another box design is out there. It might be, there's two different box graphics and I have the one for yours. :-)
George, I've found two different boxes, both have same graphics, one has a coryright marking and a 1940 date the other nothing. I'd venture to say the dated one would go with yours.
Interesting Kerry. I just send you an e mail.
geo26e,
Very nice!!!!
Dave
Thanks Dave, the movement is correct this time :-)
Thank you ttomtucker, blunderbuss2, officialfuel, spiritinthesky3 & trunkman for the 'Love'click & appreciation.
