Thread Name: BS: Old Pocket Watches
Subject: RE: BS: Old Pocket Watches
I have a silver civil war era pocket watch from the Hurlbert estate that was found in our farm house attic. Hurlbert trained horses by way of a bridaless system which is described in one of the first issues of Scientific American Magazine. His brother also managed to patent a telescope. The watch keeps time but I have lost the winding key that goes in the back of the watch.
Are these keys easy to find old dude?
