I have a pocket watch collection...and a very small gun collection, which is why this is my favorite vintage watch ad. One collection protecting another collection!

Very good. What year and why no round in the muzzle?
Thanks

The only round "in the muzzle" you would be able to see would be one exiting it. That would be a VERY BRIEF experience!

Has to be gangster era. The first one '20-'30s
Great sales pitch. Would it work today?

yes it would as I carry sig pro

You won't see an ad like that today -- we live in a world different from our grandfathers. The America that produced the excellent watches we covet no longer exists.

WOW!

That is VERY well put Dave!!

I only have one watch for you buddy: WATCH OUT! Then make him dance.

That advertisement speaks loudly.

"Tell me who you IS... or I will come find out who you WAS!"

Take anything but my watches!!!

Here's the perfect combination: a pocket watch gun:

That's awesome!

Careful which pocket you put that in!

Saw the heading and thought someone was looking for pocket watches to use for target practice!
