WALTHAM GOLD WATCH STOLEN

My grandfather’s open face Waltham gold watch was stolen in Chicago in 1986.  The back opens to reveal three engraved dates:  September 11, 1883 – October 18, 1920 – July 15, 1950.  The gold chain has a leather fob with gold comedy/tragedy masks on it.  When stolen, the watch was in a gray case with blue lining.  This heirloom has great sentimental value and I am happy to reimburse the collector who may have purchased it without knowing its history.

I would like to have my list of stolen pocket and wristwatches posted on the NAWCC site, if at all possible. I am attaching two lists, in excel format. There is contact information for both the Phoenix police and myself. I am hoping that some of my watches show up, as it might lead to the return of our dog, who was also taken in the burglary. He was more valuable to us than any amount of watches. I am also sending this information for publication in the Mart next month.

A watch was taken from my home in Merrillville, IN. between Aug. 29 and Sept. 3. The watch was a 16 size 21 jewel Illinois Bunn Special, s/n 4660423. It had a double sunk white enamel dial with bold numerals, signed Illinois. The case was a yellow gold filled NAWCo Security model, s/n 7233932. It was missing the bow, and had a plastic crystal.

A police report was filed with the Merrillville Police, and they have pictures of the watch.
