Pocket Watch
I received this gift today. It is a pocket watch that my Uncle Edward gave to me that his father had given to him. It has been in our family for a very long time.
After some research, I've found the watch was made by American Waltham Watch Co. The date of manufacture is most likely around 1916 judging by the serial number. It is a gold piece in excellent condition mechanically. The case and face of the watch are in fair condition.
I always enjoy items like this. This was an item manufactured in a time when items were hand crafted and quality and craftsmanship were valued. I feel like I could sit here and admire the inner workings of the clock all day while it ticks away. It is amazing that something of this age could be so mechanically perfect and accurate.
Very neat! One of my favorite gifts I've received and I intend to keep it forever and pass it on to my children once they are of age.
