Product Description

INGERSOLL

Ingersoll Watch Company, one of the oldest American watchmakers, founded in 1882 by the two brothers Robert H. and Charles Ingersoll. Pioneers of industry and invention in the field of watchmaking, they devised and followed an ambitious plan: "to offer Ingersoll watches to the general public at an affordable price, whilst maintaining real quality and credibility." 

Initially, each Ingersoll watch was handcrafted until 1892 with the intervention of Henry Ford, Ingersoll succeeded in fabricating an automated production line for wristwatches and pocket watches. Also, a mail order catalog was created, and Ingersoll watches were available to the public and not just whosale to dealers.  


INGERSOLL 
Boy Scouts of America 
Art Deco 
Wristwatch 

This is a very unique timepiece, a vintage Ingersoll Boy Scouts Art Deco wristwatch dated from 1937. It is a hand winding watch with mechanical movement, small second hand and made in U.S.A. 

Cased in a 31mm silver-tone tonneau case with Art Deco design. 

The original champagne dial showcases an open field with a camp surrounded by numerous trees, adorned with round Arabic numerals. The hands resemble wooden directional signs, featuring 'Be Prepared' on the hour hand and 'A Scout Is' on the minute hand. The minute track emphasizes distinct disciplines such as Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. At the 6 o'clock position, the sub-second hand takes the shape of a 'fleur-de-lis' (Lily Flower), a hallmark of Scouting Organizations. 

It comes with the original black leather two-piece strap (showing some use on the back).

This watch is in very good condition! Runs very well and keep great time!

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 the 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.
