Second watch from city park

[goldbill]

good morning... finally think I've figured out how to add the correct size pics for your viewing pleasure...
the attached pics are two watches found at different times [no puns intended] and same city park. oddly enough they seemed to have stop at the same hour. I'm figuring people from long ago just couldn't keep track of their time [pieces] bill Here is a little more info on the pocket watch. It is a Fahy Montauk Quality 2/0 I think it's in excellent cond. considering it was in the ground .One of the little wheels inside still moves when you move the watch.

Very cool pocket watch!

I also found a Waltham pocket watch in fantastic condition this spring. If you'd like to figure out when the movement was manufactured, here is a useful link that I found.

You want the serial number off of the movement, not the case. Mine was made in 1905-1906.

Hey Bill I like the pocket watch ! It looks in excellent condition ! You need to get that looked at by a Jewler / Bring it to Paul at Maritine and see if he thinks it is worth getting her going. Nice find ! Keep hunting them empty parks ! MaineRelic

Thanks Dave I showed Paul and he had one there that had a missing back. He said we could take two and make one. He didn't seem really interested but he was really impressed with the condition. I've created a new mder. I took my friend Kirk out last Saturday with my Gmt. I told him this isn't really a coin machine, just dig everything. I couldn't believe it but his first coin was a 1864 Indian head. Kirk is a Maliseed Indian and quite ;proud of it. 48 hours later he had a machine . Yesterday I took him to the race park. He came up with a 1953 rosy he's hooked now!!!! Call me sometime Bill
