What Pocket Watch did you buy recently?

One of my most recent acquisitions (3 years ago) is an English private label pocket watch for Stewart Dawson, Liverpool. He had numerous stores throughout the Commonwealth. The case is sterling, and it came with a sterling chain that weighs 66 grams! That’s over 2 ounces, Troy! I got the watch for free! It needed a bunch of work, but I was surprised the guy who gave to me (it was also given to him!), didn’t scrap it rather than to give it away. To me, it’s worth more as a watch and chain than the pocket change I’d have gotten had I scrapped it!

Love that chain on yours, I bought an identical Sterling Silver one about 2 years ago (NZ$30.00) but seemed to have misplaced it, turned the house upside down trying to locate it, that and another vintage Swiss WW (rare but a cheapie).

Those chains are heavier than they look!

I added a coin frame and a 50 cent Canadian coin (coin silver) to the chain. So now the chain weighs close to half an ounce.
