Ship that 17J badboy on down to Texas. I will leave you an oilwell in my will. Might throw in a longhorn and a Comanche 6000 year old arrowhead Eek [Longhorn is cut and that's NO bull]

Very pretty Smile
To think that a company went to all the trouble to create such a nice looking movement, that would be hidden behind a cover.

Hello Eric:

How about a beaver pelt, snowshoes, mukluks, and a canoe without a paddle, and the hole in the bottom of it. Nice Seth Thomas, a real treasure.

Bad Phil already wants to trade away his dog and the contents of his refrigerator.

Buster wants to donate antiques and livestock.

Mike wants to come over for supper.

Larry wants to give away his clothes and his transportation.

I've always figured we should ditch the dollar and the DJIA, and go back to the barter system. Big Grin They are pretty, though, aren't they?

Eric,

I don't recall ever seeing a watch movement quite as nice as that one...true eye candy! I once had a two tone Otay Native Son that was really similar. It had stars on the balance cock which was very cool. Should have kept that one.

simply elegant!!!!!! Don't waste your time trading for food and bull (lol). I'll trade you the EP Henry patio I just built....... shipping it could be a beast though. P.S. I've been looking for a Seth Thomas pocket watch to add to my collection, now I know what to look for. Thanks for sharing the pic's
