Re: Waltham Watch with 1936 Ford logo Dial
A 23 jewel Waltham was an excellent quality watch. The watch companies did do custom work on their watches but other companies, called promotions companys, did too.
Many put out cheaper watches such as the dollar watches to pass around but a 23 jewel? That went to someone more important. They were giving out gold watches at retirement then. Maybe a VP or important dealer?
I got my gold watch in 1999 (by asking) when I retired from Anheuser-Busch. It a gold Elgin with a closed case and the company emblem made about 1890. I was a VP.
Great find!
