^Lot 271a Hamilton Watch

14K gold open face Hamilton pocket watch presented by Packard Motor Car Company in its original box. Logo of Packard on face reads, "Ask the Man Who Owns One". The back is inscribed, "Presented to Albert B Kracz by the Packard Motor Car Company in appreciation of ten years of loyal service 1938". Purported Kracz was a Board Member and Officer of this iconic car company. Melting the gold in this item would have brought over $1,000.00 in 1980. Today's gold prices would bring much more.
