Vintage Watch Straps

Submitted by FifthAvenueRes… on

 

Recently acquired a sheer cornucopia vintage straps, I estimate mostly 1940's and 50's stuff (based on the stitching)

 

a couple of them jump out immediately

Does anyone recognize the era of the Bulova waterproof hangtag?  1950's? 

also I see an Accutron tag.... I am eagerly awaiting these, hopefully  they will arrive tomorrow.

Great score.   I cannot date the tabs but they definitely look to date from the 1950s.  I bet you can get good use out of them.

I'm almost certain I've seen the Accutron strap in a recent line book image post.

pretty sure that's it. 

The drawing shows stitching, the strap I have does not. 

1977

The slogan 'Only Bulova Waterproof watches are Certified Water-proof by the U.S. Testing Co.' (there was no such thing) and logo matches the strap hangtag. 

ad is 1957
