      George, Tid-bit trivia info. The words "Foreign" was a requirement for watches produced in Germany for Ingersoll LTD, these movements were made under contract in Germany, between the wars, by the UMF/Ruhla factory and because of this (as with all goods made between the wars in Germany) the dials had to be marked Foreign.
    9. geo26e geo26e, 11 years ago
      Kerry, the UMF/Ruhla is probably a better grade movement than the standard Ingersoll of the same era but a lot more difficult to get parts nowadays and to restore!

      Very cool to see! I didn't even know the English had their own Mickey version.
    11. kerry10456 kerry10456, 11 years ago
      Perry, I'll chime in, George has a couple different ones of the English versions, there is another 1936 version and matching wristwatches , strictly "English" marketed and distributed. I believe he has them all posted. BTW I just conversed with George and he is sending one of these to me, mailed out yesterday. So now I'm a PROUD owner of one of these also. :-)

      Did they make a reproduction of this watch?
    14. kerry10456 kerry10456, 9 years ago
      Mickey 133, there is a reproduction of the USA variant, but neither of the early English variants.
      Best regards
      Kerry
