So it is possible that the Viking in actually a lower jewelled (15) version of the President?

We don't have any examples in the database, but out of the 19 we have, only two have this subsecond hand configuration instead if the rotating second hand dial. Both of them still however house a 21J movement.

Still a great advert find.

Interesting. A 21J version of the Phantom is a "Streamline". Based on the price $49.50 vs the Phantom $39.50 I believe we have a new model name on our hands!

This might be a new model name. I didn't see it in the data base. The 1937 Bulova Solitaire. From The Waterbury Democrat Nov. 26, 1937 newspaper.

I'm curious why the Arthur is a higher price...solid gold case maybe?

I want to research this advert - there are a couple names that seem out of place, not 100% sure it's got correct names for the watches shown. This would be the first time we ever have Arthur advertised?

New model name "Esther". Looks to be similar to the Rona so possibly a name change.

I just noticed the Alden, which at first I thought was an error and should be a President, but then I saw the jewel count of 15J. Might still be that they placed the wrong watch image with the description.

Alden seems the same as the NAthan Wall

Interesting ad showing a 1936 Bulova Arthur. It looks to be the same watch as the Farragut. We have documented three jewel counts for the Farragut. 7, 15, 17. Makes me wonder if this is the name for one of the jeweled models.
