For Marvin's bid only -  Super rare vintage "Ryan NYP Spirit Of St Louis" N - X - 211 New York - Paris pocket watch                              In good used vintage condition and in working order.

This pocket watch was made to commemorate the first transatlantic flight flown from Long Island New York to Paris by Charles A. Lindbergh on 20th May 1927.

Physical description : Silver coloured  doped fabric covered high wing single radial engine monoplane.  The "Spirit of St Louis" was designed by Donald Hall under the direct supervision of Charles Lindbergh. It is a highly modified version of a conventional Ryan M-2 strut-braced monoplane, powered by a reliable 223hp Wright J-5C  engine. Because the fuel tanks  were located ahead of the cockpit for safety in case of an accident, Lindbergh could not see directly  ahead except by using a periscope on the left side or by turning the airplane and looking out a side window. The two tubes beneath the fuselage are flare dispensers that were installed for LIndbergh's flights to Latin American  and the Caribbean.

The flight took approximately 33,5 hours.
