Lot 110


It was endorsed by Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Willie Mays, these youth size "All Star" Baseball watches were first manufactured in 1964 by Bradley Time Division. They were sold in department stores and mail order catalogs up until about 1967. Also included with the watch was a Baseball Tips booklet, and as advertised in both the 1966 JCPenney, and Sears catalogs it also came with a baseball. It is unclear if the ball was offered every year. The free Baseball Tips booklet, by National Baseball Schools Inc. seems to be as rare or scarcer than the case the watch came in. Inside the box features caricature drawings of Mantle, Mays and Maris with facsimile autographs. Inside the case where the watch is displayed had a Red insert in the top lid of the case. The back of the insert had a guarantee for the watch and the face featured illustrated head shots of Mantle, Maris, and Mays, each placed in an outfield position over a green background baseball field. The center reads "All Star, Wrist Watch" to the left reads "Autographed dial" to the right. There is a pull tab to get to the grantee, and "Precision Swiss Movement - Electronically Timed - Shock Resistant - Anti-magnetic" written across the top.
