My grandmother died in 1956, and, I got her lap robe. It is mohair, has pictures of horses on it, and it is as heavy as a bucket of hog livers. I believe it predates automobiles. I also have a Waltham railroad watch (gold). I used to carry it, but, they quit making watch pockets in mens jeans, and, it is a pain to set. You have to unscrew the front, pull a little lever, then set the hands. Why they made them that way, I have no clue.
