I am lowering the Reserve significantly on these rare-in-the-USA rally timers and watches. Made in Britain and in Switzerland, this lot includes vintage original over-sized Smiths rally timers and uncommonly-found Herwins pieces. The Ingersoll watch (black dial) has perfect illuminated hands that usually disintegrate in time. Stevens and Blackwell manual calculators are also a throwback to an earlier time in rally racing. A great add to your rally watch collection or to use and display in your vintage British automobile.
New Reserve is $900.
Thank you.
