When Marianne posted her Saturday photo hunt picture, I was reminded of Dad's wind-it-yourself pocket watch. The watch seemed to fit the "old fashioned" theme well. In the box with the watch were a handful of coins and tokens. The coins shown here date from 1901 to 1943. The watch was given to him by his Dad as a graduation present. This was his time piece for many years. I don't remember him wearing a wrist watch until after he retired. I wound it today and it still runs. I miss you, Dad!.
