Watch Description

This appears to be a 1939 Mayor.  It is a 10KT yellow gold filled case and case back.  The movement is a 21J 8AE with a shield date code.  Seems to have an original or at least period bracelet.   The dial is almost a taupe color with a fine gold line around the outside of the dial.

Nice find, that looks like a match to me.  When I get the sales book I will get a better picture posted.

1939 Bulova Mayor. The dial on this watch seems to match the above sales book image as well.

Very clear photo indeed.  Thank you for updating.  Any other gems in the ephemera collection you received?

I have to say they are super neat jeweler sales books and pricelist.  I will be sharing them on a blog post soon.  I haven't taken the time to see if any others are new models yet.
