A work in process
Bob Ridley sent me these shots a couple of days ago. He's restoring an old 1908 silver W&D pendant watch for me, and here are some pix of the case restoration in process. Its coming along quite nicely, the last photo shows the new bow (hanging ring) and onion style crown installed.
Next he'll be giving the movement some much needed attention. More to follow.........

That's really something... I guess I missed the "finished" piece. Have to search it out, for sure.

Does the '925' stamped on the inside refer to
the content of gold? |
