I find this 940 #690770 ~ 1911 in an online only, no BP, soft close auction. I already have one similarly marked but I like the case. Never seen one with a Loco that big and all the extra rigging, Wadsworth Permanent case so there should be a little gold left on it. (257)

Looks to be original case, screws not filed off although one only appears domed, regulator centred, running for the pic.

Me likes - Lorne...

The dial and hands are period correct, movement looks crisp, and she has a ton of character Smile

And a bonus leather pouch plus I like the names Archie & Savage.

I'm in, but only going to $100. Then the second fool jumps in, he was taunting me i tell ya so I end up paying $130.

I guess it depends if you are "tellin or sellin". There is shipping, exchange and perhaps some tax when I pick it up at the P.O. but forget those quickly when I'm telling, however if I'm selling my memory gets really good all of a sudden.


It's in the mail and I'm excited.

When I originally bought the above watch I had never before seen one of these multicolour locomotive cases.

This one that recently passed through eBay is the only other I have seen.

IF YOU HAVE ONE PLEASE POST IT HERE.

It houses an 1898 Bunn Special.

If I were to find another in top notch condition I would be willing to dig up one of those coffee cans out in the back yard.
