Hi everyone, I was walking through an estate sale in my neighborhood and came across this watch. It is a Ball railroad watch, and seems to be in pretty nice shape.

I'm not interested in this kind of watch. However, it seems like a pretty good deal, and in case someone someone here is interested, I'd be happy to direct you to the sale or pick it up and mail it to you. Just let me know.

Happy to report this one went to an OF member. To be a bit selfish for a moment - this entire process was just really fun.

I want to thank propervinyl for the generosity shown. A pleasure on my part as well.

It will be off for service soon, so here are two additional pictures

A very special Ball-Waltham, circa 1901.
Hairlines will disappear when cleaned, they are extremely feint.

Stay tuned.

Very nice find, and looks to be a good example. I will need to add a Ball to my watch collection someday.
