Early 50’s bumper. \u00a0It is case 6804. \u00a0The case is stainless steel with a coin edge.<\/p>\n

I have three of this model, and this is the best of the dials. \u00a0Each shows various stages of radium burn and patina. \u00a0I relumed the hands and at some point have to paint the second hand black up to the red pointer. \u00a0The original second hand was black and matched the minute and hour hands, but it literal broke in half when I touched it.<\/p>\n

The current second hand is from one of the other bumpers. \u00a0It is the same size, but looks as if the black paint chipped off over the years.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
