Watch Description

Here is one I could not pass up.  I just love the engraving on the back.   It was sold as a non-runner and it turned out the mainspring needed to be replaced and a good service.   This appears to be a 1939 Bulova Montgomery.  It is a 10KT yellow gold filled case with the beautifully engraved name "Keith Browning Whitney".  The movement is a 7AP 17J with a shield date code.   The crown is recessed and is a replacement.  The dial is white with yellow gold applied hour markers.    I did some research and found the obituary of Mr Whitney along with his photo.  I am happy to reunite him back with his watch..

1939 Bulova Montgomery is a good match. I'm curious, have you contacted any family members to see if they'd like it back?

I left a message with the grandson over the weekend and he never returned my call.  I tried.
