Murton Colliery Pocket Watch
Posted: 27/08/2012 14:14:22 Reply | Quote I was sent these photos of a pocket watch engraved with Murton Colliery: (click image to open full size image in new window) (click image to open full size image in new window) The watch belonged to a Tom Flynn, who emigrated to Canada (the engraved name is somebody else). The watch now belongs to Tom Flynn's grandson who wondered if it might have been a company memento / retirement gift etc. -- Half the lies you tell ain't true IP: 95.147.207.70 Edited: 27/08/2012 14:28:17 by SimonRL |

Posted: 27/08/2012 14:31:25 Reply | Quote Simon, it might help to know when he retired. I used to repair watches (as a hobby) in a previous life & that looks very like an "English Lever" probably dating 1850-1900, although not an expert on dates. It might have been a bit mean to give a watch that wasn't new... -- Regards, John... 'Folk from Huddersfield think Sex is what coal gets delivered in...' IP: 86.29.250.70 |
