Here is a piece of an envelope I found showng the return address for the South Bend Watch Company. It has US postage stamp with a cancel date of March 11, 1914 and illustrates the famous watch in a block of ice. | ||

Nice philatelic item, Ernie. I'm not sure I get the connection with a block of ice. Keeps on tickin' in the cold maybe? | ||||

This is the 1908 advertisement of the South Bend ice block campaign. Gerald ![]() | ||||

Thank you Gerald! TV's pitchman Billy Mays would be proud. After I read this, I was thinking that ice block could be as warm as 32 degrees F. in theory so I wonder how that watch would do at 32 degrees below zero like it gets in Montana or Alberta. ![]() | ||||

Nice catch Ernie! That image is a little bit blurry though (hint, hint). | |||
