This lot contains a vintage pocket watch measuring 1 1/2" in diameter with copper-colored trim and "George Raft" printed on the face. Below his name appears "Casino de Capri." It has been speculated that Raft, best known for his acting roles in films such as "Some Like It Hot," owned a considerable stake in this Cuban casino, perhaps explaining the printing on the watch. There are no jeweler's markings on the piece, which certainly will make for quite a conversation piece.
