Beautiful watch but not a railroad watch.

Yeah. I’m aware. Railroad watches are generally not particularly pretty, just accurate.

I don’t work for the railroad. ;)

What's in the Moon? It a matchbox?

Yes it is. 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.

Be careful where you check the time;  situational awareness don't ya know!

 

I agree with the others, an exquisite timepiece.  Keep on time in good health for many years my friend!

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.

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.

A stopped watch is right twice a day.
