Railroad watches are generally not particularly pretty, just accurate. I don’t work for the railroad. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a moon but it’s actually the ancient classic theater comedy/tragedy symbol. The other side is frowning. I took it off a dead opera singer who didn’t know when to shut up. 3 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I collect pocket watches (and a few wrist watches. too) but nothing a grand s that one. I'll give you a hunnert bucks or it. I've heard that a man who owns a watch knows what time it is. If he owns more than one he's never quite sure. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More commonly called a "vesta", novelty match boxes for your vest pocket came in an abundance of designs and materials; I'm particularly fond of the Art Nouveau styles in sterling.
