Description: FROM THE ESTATE OF A LONG TIME POCKET WATCH COLLECTOR!Rare vintage (1930's-40's) Longines 17 jewel Canadian RR Grade pocket watch. Watch movement grade is Express Leader, which was a Canadian RR Approved watch grade. This watch is a size 16s , openface, lever set movement with nickel finish and gilt lettering. The 24 hour, double-sunk, Canadian dial is bright white with black & red Arabic Numerals and is marked Riddell & Vinet. Numerals 1- 12 are black, while 13 - 24 are red. Kite style watch hands appear to have been painted over original finish. Please study the photos as there are hairline cracks on dial face near numeral 2 as well as in the center sunken area radiating out from stem roughly from red 13 to red 6. We believe the watch was made for marketing by Riddell & Vinet in St. Charles Quebec. 3 finger bridge movement is clean with a nickel finish and is marked LONGINES EXPRESS LEADER along with SAFETY PINION and ADJUSTED IN 5 POSITIONS 17JEWELS.
