Watch Description

After posting the Duchess the other day I found this one from the same ad so I picked it up.  I was really pleased when I got it to find it is in nice condition.  I believe this is Doris, a very pretty little watch.  The ad with the Duchess has it at $50 and I found an ad for $37.50 so there might have been a solid gold and a gold filled version.  At least those price points seem to indicate that.  This one is gold filled with 2 emeralds, one triangle on each end.  The movement is a 17 jewel not a 15 jewel as the ad states.

That's a beauty, a nice addition to your collection. I agree,

1930 Doris she is.

Thank you Bob : ) These older models are really cool and I don't have very many so it is nice to add to them.  Only my second with emeralds.
