Extremely uncommon 19j Ingersoll-Trenton circa 1907. RR approved on at least one spur. Cool 3-finger bridge.
One I just picked up for the cost of a decent bottle of single malt. I like the classic dial, numbers and hands. The polished caseback, unmarked so far (fingers crossed). Caseback and inner cover removed to reveal the movement. None other than the ubiquitous ETA/Unitas 6497-1. The watch world equivalent of the Douglas DC-3, and just as simple and reliable as the "Dak".
Okay I give up where is she hiding the watch? My Biltmore is partly disassembled and resting in a air gun pellet tin till I get up the gumption to finish the job. If it runs okay when I finish detail cleaning and lubing everything I'll be pleased as punch. If not it will get a viking funeral at the lake.
Some very nice watches here. Can't really join in as I don't have any other than a stopwatch but, just booking this in for a service and thought the movement was very nice. Calibre appears to be Minerva 19/9CH and it's a monopusher chronograph - Swiss lever escapement and Breguet hairspring. Dates to 1924 and was locally cased. Nice presentation watch for finishing an apprenticeship - why didn't I get anything like this when I finished mine? Chrono stopped but watch running: Chrono running: Cheers, Chris
Are those promotional watches from a tire manufacturer? I have a Firestone keychain tape measure made to look like a tire.
Somewhere I have an ad for a car company that was putting the keys to your "new car" on them. I'll find it one of these days
Here is my Waltham 23 jewel wind up indicator with Montgomery dial and a cool original old watch fob from the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. It kind of goes with the watch. Use to collect watch fobs use to pick them up for 10 to 20 bucks did pay 60 for this one the way the brass aged on it was just cool.
Here is my Grandfathers pocket watch given to him on his 21 birthday and mite of saw military service in WW1 since he was in the Navy at that time. Cool elk
