Circa 1934. Made by Ingraham. Working. Rarest of all the comic character pocket watches. Only a few examples are known to exist. Embossed back shows Betty Boop with a few stars, a moon, and a dog. The face is marked "Fleischer Studios, Inc.". Watch appears to have a new crystal and the inside has the name "Chet Ellis" etched into it. The back has a quarter-inch defect to the metal, below Betty's left leg. This watch is almost impossible to find in any condition and is extremely rare because during the time, parents found the image of Betty Boop to be too provocative for children.
