Is This For Real?

[Richard Flanders]

Looks that way Bill. Would anything authentic be marked "Parker - Remington" ??

These Westclox watches were usually seen on a cardboard with over a dozen of them on the same display in country stores. They were called "dollar watches." I still have one of them I used to carry, and yes they were made in the USA. Westclox also made your wind-up alarm clocks.

The internet, for what it is worth, said Westclox made these watches from 1899 until the 1990s. I doubt they changed the design over the last fifty plus years so anything is possible for a watch known as a "dollar watch."

What seems odd is why would a guy in the Midlands of the UK be faking a watch with a gun that is hardly known over there. I spent 25 years going back and forth and only met a few gun people who knew much at all about Parkers, and claimed they never saw very many.

Maybe its not as hardly known as we think
