And it ends up being a Westfield!! AAAAWWWW BOOOOO !!!!

I'm still looking diligently for the real American Boy....  this is the first sniff I've even smelleded..  I've seen crystals for them.. but never the watch.  Anyone have one of these?

I've got several Bulova American Girl watches, but any one of them would look pretty silly on a boy... :)

Haha!  Touche'  I wonder just how small this one was.  The men's watches of this era weren't overly huge and I'm assuming they made this for the kids.

This is an ad I found a few months ago and sent to admin... if you look it's posted on a high resolution (so realize it will take a bit to come up) ad from 1930 in our database.

GOOD ONE, Jerin! (Bulova later used the same namesake from their acquired company "Westfield," eh?) There was indeed also a BULOVA "America Boy..." ('40s, or 50s?)

And you saw mention of (rectangular cut corner?) crystals with model names, that early!? WHERE?!?)
