Ingersoll Yankee Radiolite Nickel Plated Pocket Watch - An open-face pocket watch produced by Ingersoll, identified as the Yankee Radiolite model. The cream-colored dial features bold black Arabic numerals, cathedral-style hands with aged luminous material, and a sunken sub-seconds dial at the six o'clock position. The dial is signed Ingersoll in script with RADIOLITE printed below and MADE IN U.S.A. at the bottom. The case is constructed from nickel-plated base metal with a polished finish and a plain, unadorned case back. Case diameter: 2 inches. Fair to poor condition. The watch does not run and is offered for parts or restoration. The dial exhibits a significant brown stain and material cracking near the eleven o'clock position. The crystal is heavily yellowed with extensive surface scratching and a crack at the top edge. The case shows deep scratches, scuffs, and significant wear to the nickel plating throughout, particularly on the bezel and back.
