Pocket Watch - Jewish National Workers' Alliance, United States

Illustrated on the face of the watch are two hands, one holding the Zionist Movement flag and the second hand holding a torch (resembling the Statue of Liberty’s torch), a rising sun is seen in the background. Written in red on the left side: "Matnat" (Hebrew; "gift from"), and around it, instead of digits, appear Hebrew characters (blue and red): "Y. N. Arb. Farband" (yidish natzionaler arbeiter farband). On the reverse, engraved: "Matnat Y.N.A.F." (Hebrew), Hook for hanging and a winding stem.
The Jewish National Workers’ Alliance (Nazionaler Arbeiter Farband) was founded in Philadelphia in 1908 to support Jewish workers and inform them about their social and national rights.
