Canadian character watches
Ballerina and Ride Em Cowboy Character Watch
Eatons of Canada Spring and Summer Catalog 1959
I have a pretty good collection of catalogs from the 1940's to 60's mainly to do some research on items found in the home.
Eatons is one of a number of large stores no longer operating. Their mail order was one of the best in the world.
Thank You Sir, now I'm in a slump, oh the anxiety of seeing one I don't possess is always heart-breaking...lol. I've been adding the "Flicker" watches as I find them, surprising enough, there's not many to be found. The Ballerina, Dale Evans, Roy Rogers, Baseball player & Majorette , I've found, still looking for that long lost Cowboy...lol
Thanks again bladerunner 22 for the "Dating" reference and also the different strap configuration, I wouldn't have known about the graphics on strap if not for this .

To add a side note..... Wouldn't it grand if I could upload photos in comment section to compare the ad to the actual piece.....oh to dream....lol. Thanks again for this and the other fantastic post, I do deeply appreciated seeing these.

Great reference bladerunner , I love old catalogs !
LOL Mani, yes I could, but that would mean this old crippled up guy would have to write a post, take photos and....lol, just being a butt Mani, If you can't see it from that side of the screen, I'm smiling like a Cheshire cat while typing this...Thanks again bladerunner22 and Mani for making me smile
