I am not sure whether this pocket watch is authentic or just a modern fantasy reproduction piece. It has the same dial and 'carrot' hands as a 1951 Bugs Bunny wristwatch exclusively sold at Rexall Drugstores.
The print quality on the 'paper' dial is rather poor. The carrot hands however appear genuine. I have not come across any write up on this pocket watch in any reference books. Any information on the watch, the watch case and the movement will be very much appreciated.
Kerry 10456 has posted a fine example of the wristwatch version a few months ago and for ease of comparison, this is the link : http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/69494-1951-bugs-bunny-wristwatch
George, first thing, it's a fantasy piece. It's a wristwatch dial attached to an E. Ingraham "Sentinel" pocket watch. Still looks pretty neat. Really kinda like it. Thanks for showing us this.

Thanks for the info Kerry! Mystery solved!
geo26e,
I like it. I have a few Ingraham Sentinel's. I might have to find the wristwatch dial and make me one.

Thank you Dave & Manikin for the appreciation.
No problem George, I agree with Dave, This is pretty neat, might have too, myself :-)
Kerry & Dave, when I saw this on eBay, I knew it was a fantasy piece but it looked so cute and I had to have it! I have had this watch for a year but was reluctant to post it as it is not authentic. I am so pleased that this watch can make people smile despite being a reproduction :-)
