Pocket watchs
 

After reading a few posts on pocket watches I decided to find a pocket watch I had traded for during a Swap on a Parker shotgun a few years ago. The watch and a small pen knife was thrown in to even up the sale. I had put it away shortly after the trade, and had not really looked it over that close. It does keep perfect time. From the engraving I would think this was gifted to a lady. After taking pictures today, I can really see the details and it seems like a very nice watch. Just wanted to share a few pictures. ( Damn the guys back in the day could grow some mustaches) LOL

mighty nice time piece you got there. that fella musta thought a lot of his wife or lady friend to give her such a nice watch...charlie

The watch supposedly came out of Sothern Arizona. During this time period things were pretty wild, and AZ was still a Territory. It would be a tough woman to live during this time in the Territory. Like our Parkers I wish the watch could give up its history.
