Hello Fellow Collectors and Visitors. As some of you know I'm always looking for that something different in old watches and clocks. I have mainly character pieces, but snag on an advertisement watch from time to time.... Well here's one I hope you'll enjoy seeing.
The Saturday Evening Post was founded in 1821 and grew to become the most widely circulated weekly magazine in America. The magazine gained prominent status under the leadership of its longtime editor George Horace Lorimer (1899–1937) and is still in publication today.
This watch is an advertisement piece from approx. 1906 and produced by Ingersoll with a 1 jewel "Dollar" style movement. It has it's place among several other "Dollar" Advertisement watches here at the Horde.
Thanks for looking
Kerry
Awesome as always Kerry ! :)
I like the advertising ones also. I have an Ingersoll advertising, The Evening Telegram Portland, Oregon and the Rexall drug stores. A New Haven advertising The Emporium of San Francisco, the ones I recall off-hand.

for all the loves, @ Karen, is odd to see it that short.
I will not look for advertising watches, i will not look for advertising watches, i will not look for advertising watches
Eye4, first off, repetitive thinking alone makes it worse....lol Thanks, but watch out, these babies aren't so easy to locate.... for some reason they didn't survive the years.
Thanks Sean, ole buddy :-)
Oh. ... Sounds like a challenge ...
LOL, Eye4, just fair warning sir, they become very addictive, looking for the history behind them is as much of the challenge as finding the watch itself :-)
Thank you Russ & Dave for stopping by and showing the support, always very appreciated!!
Thank you very much Michael, Perry & Trey for all the loves, very appreciated!!
I could have closed my eyes and picked any one of your watches ~ they're all so great!!!
Thank you NevadaBlades for the wonderful complement and stopping by to look, always very appreciated!!
Thank you toolate2 for all the loves and support, very appreciated!!
Thank You SpiritBear for dropping by and sharing the loves
It kind of makes me jealous since I love both pocket watches (mine is sadly non-functional again) and Saturday Evening Post prints. LOL.
Thanks for posting it.
LOL SpiritBear, I agree, both of which are great, imo
