Status: Sold

Burlington Bull Dog Pocket Watch-Size 16S, Approx. 1925. With greek key borders, porcelain watch face with second dial, 14K gold filled case, double roller and 21 jewels. Advertised as a watch specifically designed “for rough service.” With its sturdy, "dust-proof" case and large Arabic numbered dial, it appealed to customers that wanted a watch that looked more like a railroad watch even though it would not have qualified for service on most railroads (limited approval railroad grade). The Burlington “Bull Dog” represented one of the last watches sold by the Burlington Watch Company. This example appears to function when wound, not tested for full function. Porcelain face has some cracking. BP
