(New Haven, 1933-34) A rare first edition pocket watch of Popeye by the New Haven Watch Co. This is one of the earliest watches to feature a character's arms as the watch hands, being produced shortly after the iconic original Mickey Mouse watch in 1933. The dial features (8) images of Thimble Theater characters including Olive Oyl, and a rotating image of Wimpy to count the seconds. The watch operates when wound and given a gentle shake to start the movement. Measuring 2" in diameter and 2.5" including pendant and bow, the watch is in very good working condition, with wear wear from handling to the nickel case.
