A bucket list model for me and many thanks to Bob for helping me find one. The Perisphere is modeled after the New York World's Fair. The name signified the "World of Tomorrow" and inside it was shown a model of "Democracity" the "City of Tomorrow".
A unique and interesting watch. It is very small and I will attach a pic in the comments showing the size on the wrist.
Man, that is better than it appeared in the auction ad, if that's possible. VERY nice. Congrats, it's a winner Glad I could help scratch one off the bucket list!

Thank you Bob! Yes it is very nice, I didn't even clean it up yet! Appreciate the help :-)
That is awesome Kathy! I fell in love with this model when I found that first ad but then you found the second ad which also had the Major. Congrats on the pick up. Stephen you actually have the the original contract with the Worlds Fair? How did that happen??

I negotiated a sale contract via eBay :-)
I'll have to dig it out and scan it. The only thing missing is the park map that shows the actual Bulova clock locations. I believe that was sold seperately and is out there somewhere.
Here is a copy of the map that is reference in the contract paperwork I have.
