WatchDog21 3,345 Posted January 28, 2020 The fancy font on this one makes it difficult for me to read. This is the pocket watch that I recently came into possession of while clearing out my dads house. The watch belonged to my grandfather and based on the inscription on the case back it is from around 1905. I popped off the case back to check it out and found the below. I had a hard time trying to focus in on the entire name while still getting as close as possible but here it is. Best I can make out... Arm________d Watch Co. Any ideas? and with a little different lighting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I look at it with that name in mind I can "see" the letters. Interesting link, nice bit of background, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how your brain can be taken down a route and the harder you look, the harder it is to convince it otherwise without an external nudge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
