Just searching around the web & found this article about a watch given at a meeting of the Railroad Conductors in Atlanta Ga. in 1895.

The article was in the Atlanta Constitution May 22, 1895.

Tom,

Great article! thank you Smile

As the article is dated 5/95, I think it safe to say that the mention of thousands of these having been sold over a 2 year period is a bit of hyperbole Wink

happy hunting,

Your welcome Bill, I was thinking of you when I posted it. I too think they stretched the truth a little on the numbers.
