Swiss Hands and Crowns
Folks,

I have an eight drawer metal parts box which has Swiss hands and crowns in it. I am trying to clear out some space in my watch shop and would like to give this to someone who will get some use out of it. I would be willing to give these away for free if the recipient pays for the cost of shipping. This is a heavy item probably 25 or 30 lbs, so the shipping will not be trivial.

There are over 500 bottles of hands of which about 95% have some hands in them. There are also over 300 bottles for the crowns with over 50% of the bottles containing crowns. Be advised, there is no paperwork with these so I can't say what brands or sizes are in each hands bottle. The crowns bottles have some sizing info on them.

Please respond if you are interested.

This is nice to see.

It says "The Always Polite and Family Friendly Place for Watch and Clock Collectors" up at the top of this page. John, you are showing this hobby and the friendly people in it at their very best. I am proud to be an IHC 185 Member.
