A while ago there was quite a bit of talk about Pocket Watches on XMarkstheScot. I decided to go onto ebay and see what I could find. I thought instead of one of those new chrome pocket watches, or the type that costs about $10.00 I would pick up the best one I could afford. Well I found a Waltham from 1915 that was running and won it. My only problem was that I did not have a watch chain for it, again I started looking for a vintage chain, I found one after some searching that was not quite the same vintage the chain is from the 1960 or 1970's. The Chain came in yesterday morning, and I finally got the entire thing together, I'm really happy with it, now it feels like the waistcoat is complete.
Thought I'd check out your blog and see what you are all about.
ReplyDeleteDo you knit? I saw the knitting pattern?
That's a beauty! I think you got a terrific deal. I doubt there are too many 1915 watches left.

ReplyDeleteSadly I do not knit, when I'm back on my feet from this economic downturn I'll be talking to you about a Fair Isle Sweater.
