Hey guys,
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to show you my Grandfather's NYC RR pocket watch.
It's a Ball (Cleveland), Official RR Standard, in a 10K Goldfilled Keystone Watch Case.
21 jewel, 5 position serial number B270815 (case is 9735458). Its inscribed "sapphire pallets" on the movement back.
I know its not a really expensive watch, especially since my grandafther said the NYC garnished his wages to pay for it...
BUT, the best part is everytime it was inspected, the inside back of the case was inscribed with the date, with the earliest from April 17th, 1934.
I'll post some pics when I'm back at work on Monday.
Thanks,
Mario
