Holy buckets.... pretty darned close to mine without looking!  Check #3 maybe vs. the 1940 Banker?

Hrmm.... #8 as the Waterproof eh?  You maybe got a year to compare Ticker? I was having trouble with the 60's ones..

1.  Minute Man (late 30's)

2.  Franklin?

3.  Banker (1939-41)

4.  Dean (Late 30's to late 40's)  Lots of years

5. Jet Clipper? (60's)

6. Automatic

7.  Military Watch maybe?

8. Jet Clipper (1962?)

9.  Bulova 23?

Plains,

Looks like we are thinking alike on most, either we are at the head of the class or sitting in back with our dunce caps on!

Looks like you are closer on the Banker, I was thinking American Clipper and typed Ambassador, but the case looks straight verses pointed at the stepped area. The waterproof  was just a guess, it has something written at the bottom of the dial.

No other takers?

Someone else play too!

Oh and I may have overpaid for this lot... $130 shipped.... though... I've always wanted a Military and that one is unlike any other's I've seen...   Plus the Minute Man looks to be in pretty good shape. 

I'll post up pics of them all when I get them.

I'm a horrible impulse buyer...

$13.00 each? sounds like a steal, the case should be worth $20.00+ alone.

I think you did ok.

 

P.S. Do you still have your Corrigan? May need you to measure the dial for the unknown watch dials..#1
