Theodore Roosevelt's Historic Pocket Watch Recovered


"This watch was a fairly pedestrian Waltham 17 jewel watch with an inexpensive coin silver case. It's a 'Riverside' grade and model '1888' with a hunter-style case"

"The inscription, which includes Corinne Roosevelt Robinson [sister] and Douglas Robinson [brother in-law] initials reads: 'THEODORE ROOSEVELT FROM D.R. & C.R.R.'

"Apparently had the watch with him at the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish-American War"
