Question Regarding a Possible "Pelham" Outer Retail Box

Submitted by ncmountie on January 28, 2018 - 11:12pm

This is perhaps a mid to late 50's, early 60's outer retail box acquired recently and I am speculating came from the factory containing a "Pelham, 17 J." and probably a retail price of $67.50. The damage to the top sticker from an apparent attempt to remove the sticker occurred prior to my receiving the box. 

Measures: 4  7/8” x 3  3/4” x 1  3/4” (12.4cm x 9.5cm x 4.5cm).

Upside down 2 for 7

Recently I've seen several Bulova's from the 30's / 40's where the dial's number 7 is actually an upside down number 2.  Is this legit?  Did Bulova actually do this or was it a creative way to restore the dial?

Thanks!!

Salesman Sample Case, ever seen one?

I just purchased this and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Anyone ever seen one of these before or have an estimate of age? My guess would be perhaps 1940's. It measures approx 15" across and is made of wood covered with cloth. I've never encountered one and had to have it. One would think this is a pretty uncommon item. Thoughts?

This is a question about a "modern" Bulova quartz. The photos show the face and the back, which dates the watch as year 2000.
On the face the model no, at the 6 o clock position, is 98R34.
My question concerns the logo on the face which is an A with a wave line running through it. I thought this may be relate to Accutron which I understand was reintroduced with quartz technology. Can anyone enlighten me please?
Thanks
