This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the February, 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
America Marches to Victory on Time
Every noon he brings the bridge
some nice fresh lime!
Just before noon this chief petty officer opens
the ship's chronometer.
It's a giant watch, kept in a box and hung
so the ship's motion won't affect it. It's always
accurate to a tiny fraction of a second!
The chief petty officer takes the time from
the chronometer and reports to the bridge.
The captain uses this time to fix the exact
position of his ship. The chronometer must
be right. One minute's error and a ship could
be 15 miles off its course!
But chronometers-as America builds them
-don't tell lies.
And it's fortunate they don't. For a chronometer
is the heart of a ship. Everything that
happens aboard-even the firing of the big
guns-is timed by it.
That's why we're proud the government
turned to Hamilton to make these vital chronometers
and many other precise timing
instruments.
It means that we can't stop to build many
watches for civilians until this war is won. But
when that day comes, this wartime experience
promises new Hamiltons even more precise
than those now famed as “the watch of railroad
accuracy." Hamilton Watch Company,
324 Columbia Avenue, Lancaster, Penna.

A great Vintage Ad!
You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
- New frame
- New mat
- New glass
- Vintage Ad
