Little Orphan Annie
U.S.A.
 
Who remembers the adventures of Little Orphan Annie? Perhaps you had a Little Orphan Annie doll or other memorabilia growing up. This is an excellent character collection timepiece featuring Little Orphan Annie from the 1930s/1940s, made by New Haven Clock Company! It still runs and is in good condition with all original parts, except the new strap.

The U.S.A. made movement is simple in design, allowing for easy service. It is manual-wind and has a pin lever movement.

The tonneau case is stainless steel and measures approximately 28 x 31 mm. The crown is large, allowing for easy time setting. There are no case markings. The bezel is polished and the case back is brushed. The pained metal dial features the adorable Little Orphan Annie in her red dress and black Mary Janes, pointing at 11 and 3 o'clock. It is signed Harold Gray and Made in U.S.A. The Breguet numerals are black as is the minute track and syringe-shaped hour and minute hands. There is no second hand.
 
It comes on a new two-piece brown leather strap with gold buckle.  

New Haven Clock Company began making the Little Orphan Annie wristwatches in 1937. At up to 86 years old, this Little Orphan Annie character wristwatch is still running well and keeping time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
 
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
