Just found all these Her Excellency adverts from different jewellers all on the same page of the Philadelphia PA Inquirer dated May 7, 1947.

I think that this is a really good indication as to when Bulova formally introduced their His and Her Excellency range, prior to which were given individual names and classified under the general grouping of 'Excllency Group'.

Remember these a8 dverts are all on the same page.

Most likely a mistake.  Lincoln is a different model during this period.  This is most likely a Minute Man J

The Lord Milburn is a mistake on the newspaper.  It should be a Benrus Lord Milburn.

I am trying to see about the "Worlds Fair"

Do you think they both might actually be Benrus and someone doing up the mat ads goit it wrong. We certainly have never come across these before.

Really could be mate... I'm cool with dumping them... but thought I'd put them up for propriety's sake anyway... something to discuss.

These two ads from different papers in different states (IN, KY, UT) may throw a wrench in things a little...

Nice finds!  I have been looking for something like the Apollo for a watch I added a couple of days ago.  I think it might be an Apollo : )
