Here is a nice waltham 16 size sterling case with a little splash of color...I was taking some pictures for a ebay auction i thought i would post some pictures before it,s gone.
That is a very interesting case! Besides looking to be in very good condition, the one side with the elk would appeal to men and the other side, with flowers, would appeal to women. I like it!

I agree that is a nice looking watch and that Samie is teasing us....however, that is the strangest looking Elk I think I have ever seen....
His butt is straight at you as is his head and the head looks like the face of a wolfhound and the neck muscles are really straining also....anyway is a very interesting piece....
Thanks, Samie.... and why not put it up at auction here at 185...?
Regards, Jerry

Phil i,m so poor i may start picking up pop can,s too bring in a litle extar money,,you (old man )or Rob (the young man) need too loan me some money
ya right old man you and the other old man are the ones with plenty of $$$ I am in the poor class trying to make enough to feed my kids once a day. I cant wait until phil buys another house up by me so I can hit him up for a free lunch once in a while so I can have a change from the free bolonga ends I get free from the local deli on the day old bread.
I am also a bidder. First thing you know Samie will get run over out there picking up cans. Rob, when I get up there I will meet you at the Murphy flea market. Lunch is on me.

You guys talk about being poor. I have been picking up pop cans all summer. But now with the price of gas so high I can't afford to take them to the recyclers to get my 50 cents.

Hi Guys, I was the first bidder on this, I saw the buy it now for the $275.00 and I am guilty for spoiling that by thinking I could get it a little cheaper by bidding. I didn't know who was who and what was what, I had no way of knowing who the silver lady was. You all know how ebay is, you don't know what you are getting. Sorry if I have spoiled this for anyone.

I confess. It was moi who won this watch & case. I chalk this great win up to "novice bidding". This will be my first sterling silver multicolor case, and I can't thank Sammie enough for putting it on auction. Anyone here traveling into the Smokies/Gatlinburg area is very welcome to stop in and look it over closely some day. Mike

Hi Jerry! Yes, I guess I have to plead guilty to sniping, but as I told Samie, I like multicolor cases and I didn't have a sterling multi-color until now. I think these sterling multicolors are relatively rare, so I bid accordingly.
Samie, if you are looking at this, I am posting a picture of an 18s, multicolor hunter case, with a 15J, GM Wheeler movement that looks like it belongs in Kentucky. If youse gots some other multicolor you might wanna trade for it, maybe we can talk. The next picture describes the case with a watch paper.
