·Camping for a few days, and wearing my “sacrifice” Seiko. But for fun, I also wore a pocket watch. This one is a private label for “Black’s”, (D E Black) a watchmaker who moved from Ontario (Canada) to Calgary in 1903, to seek his fortune. He needed to get busy in a hurry as he landed here with 25 cents in his pocket. He took a job with an established local jeweller, L H Doll. He worked there for about one year, and started his own business in a 12’ x 7’ store. He had good trade with local railroaders, servicing their railroad standard pocket watches. By the early 1920s, he was employing a staff of about 60 (many of them were watchmakers and goldsmiths). He sold out to Henry Birks & Sons in about 1923. This watch is likely from prior to 1920, and I have a suspicion it was a service loaner which he loaned to a railroader whose watch was being repaired. Swiss, 17-jewels, patent regulator, “safety barrel”, recently transplanted to this case which replaced a dreadful rolled gold plated case that was fugly. Shown on my @DaveK mystery braid lanyard, Mark 1.
