Pocket Watches
This is an Elgin Watch (one of a very few) that I have. It was made in 1899 and it still runs very accurately.
I find Pocket Watches to be fascinating. They are literally pieces of History, because watches of this type haven't been made in years.
The watch that is pictured is an 18 size, which is a little larger than the watches most people are familiar with.
The watch I carry on a daily basis is a16 size Hamilton 992...it was manufactured in 1926. 16 size is what most people think of when thay think of Pocket Watches.
