Pocket Watches (that still tick after all these years)

[ColonelKlink1942]

Hey gang,

 

I've got a goulash of non-military antiques that I may show off from time to time. Starting with a couple of pocket watches I picked up last year on an antiquing adventure in a small town not far from home. These are wind-up pocket watches, not battery-operated. They are still ticking away happily after all these years.

 

The one without a lid is a Westclox Pocket Ben (Style 6), produced between 1960 and 1980. The one with a lid is a Swiss-made Adorna watch, but I have yet to accurately date it.

 

Enjoy!
