this is a friends Lindberg pocket watch with original fob and leather strap. I think that it is missing the compass in the fob. I do not know much about it and more info would be helpful. not sure how rare this is only others I have seen are ones on CW and they have white dials.
VERY-Very nice, love the black dial
Mickey.. blacks are the rarity ones.. you are correct
This one here dates 1929 on the date code of movement
oops forgot to add: made by E. Ingraham :-)
George and I were just talking about you earlier.... your ears must have been burning :-)
thank you Kerry I new you would know and is the fob missing the compass or where they offered without it
Sadly compass is missing, but doesn't hurt the value to much... the black face makeup the difference
Mickey.... there was another fob style offered. Here's link to it:

Mickey, your friend's black dial Lindbergh is stunning and very rare. Apart from the dial colour, the hands on the watch are different from a white dial version. The compass is indeed missing from the fob.
