Item Description
Original cardboard box w/nicely illustrated lid contains 1x1.5" silver luster metal case watch w/original metal expansion band (not "S" bands). Not to be confused w/the "Superman Supertime Wrist Watch" by Ingraham, this watch was produced by Bradley, though box features similar art. c. 1950s. © National Comics Publications, Inc. Box insert has "Superman" comic book title logo and space graphics. Box lid has nice images of Superman on top and two side panels w/Metropolis skyline bkg. Box lid notes watch as "Model No. 290" and has Bradley name. Box originally had hinged lid, but paper connecting lid to box bottom is torn, separating the two. This has resulted in some surface paper loss to lid. Old tape repair to bottom of box. VG overall, but still displays nicely from the front. Dial features full body image of Superman w/hands on hips. Slight trace of oxidation to metal expansion band, but watch is running and dial is Exc. w/full case luster. Comes w/original Bradley guarantee paper. As rare as boxed examples of the "Supertime" watch are, this example is even rarer and is the only example we've offered in our 47 years.
