WWII-era Waltham Pocket Watch and Trench Lighter

This pair of vintage items includes a silver-toned open-face pocket watch, likely a Waltham model, alongside a small flip-top gasoline lighter. The watch features a white enamel or porcelain-style dial with black Arabic numerals and a dedicated sub-seconds dial at the six o'clock position. The hands appear to be blue steel or black finish, common for utilitarian timepieces of the 1940s. The casing shows significant age-related patina and dulling of the original finish, likely nickel or chrome over brass. The crown and bow are intact at the twelve o'clock position. The accompanying lighter is a simple, rectangular flip-top design typical of civilian and military-issue 'trench' lighters from the late 1930s to the 1940s. It lacks decorative engraving, suggesting an economy or utility-grade manufacture. Both items show surface wear, minor scratching, and oxidation consistent with field use or long-term storage without a protective case. The watch crystal appears cloudy, possibly due to scuffing or aging of a celluloid or acrylic material. These items represent typical personal gear carried by personnel during the World War II period, emphasizing durability and function over ornamentation.
