··Home For Wayward Watches
The most recent pocket watch find came back home to roost yesterday all better: serviced, new glass crystal and a now complete movement. Though it would run, even with a lazy flollopy balance wheel, t had suffered from neglect, an ugly yellow-faded plastic crystal, and missing regulator bits. The watch dates to 1922. It's now ticking merrily 102 years later.
We once had a regionally popular interurban line that served our community, the Texas Electric Railway. It was at the peak of its popularity about the time this watch was manufactured. The line prospered until the late 1930s when its popularity began to sag, temporarily revived during World War II, but was defunct by 1948, done in by better roads, better automobiles, a better economy all conspiring to effect a change in regional travel tastes.
Who knows? Perhaps this watch served on the line. Since it came off of Ebay, probably not.
