    Description

    Beautiful all original hand-crafted Edward H Bohlin sterling silver watch band set (buckle, tip and  band holder). The watch is a Waltham '17' (I assume 17 jewels). The leather band is hand tooled and seems to be the original band and was probably hand tooled by Bohlin although it has no 'maker mark' on the reverse. This signed buckle and tip was made when E.H. Bohlin hand-carved the designs in his own buckles, holsters, and saddles during the heyday of Hollywood Westerns and Cowboy movies.  Quality and craftsmanship are illustrated in the photos, which are part of the description. The band and buckle show signs of wear as you would expect on a 75 year old original watch.
    I purchased this original watch with the band and buckle set at a swap meet in the early 80's from an old man that claimed that he had bought it new in the 40's.  The Waltham watch model is from the 40's and keeps good time. Bohlin is still considered among the best ever made.  This special watch is one of the few original sets still in existence. It will go to the highest bidder, no reserve.
