Really great photo of your watch and knife. Nice family heirloom / memory.Today's theme:
The watch was originally a gift from my wife to her father when she was young. He passed away some years ago. She gave it to me recently.
[There's a knife on the other end of the chain, but not a lambsfoot.]
A little meat does the trick!I was just about to make a cheese sandwich for lunch, when I spotted some leftover pancake batter in the fridge So... Je presente le crepe au fromage!
I actually found it a little bland, so I gave it some Bam!
And added smoked ham to the next one
Such a great image of your Lamb Foot, Dennis. Thank you again.I was more than happy to share with you, my friend!
Lamb content...
The watch and chain were given to my late Father years ago by my late Mother's uncle, other than that nobody ever knew anything more about it, it does run but I don't know how to adjust it.
Stunning photo. Thanks for sharing.The watch and chain were given to my late Father years ago by my late Mother's uncle, other than that nobody ever knew anything more about it, it does run but I don't know how to adjust it.
Looks like a classic, Jack.
I'm probably more likely to sell it one day Jack, it doesn't really have sentimental value to me, if it had been bought by my Dad or by my Grandfather and handed down to Dad it would be different, but as it is, it's a nice thing but sits in a drawer.
JohnDF The chains are something, hallmarked on every single link but they do show quite a bit of wear, the coin mount is a later addition I think, although the coin is dated 1889 and has Queen Victoria on the reverse.
Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Wonderful Hartshead still life, not to mention the tasty smorgasbord of delectable.
A wonderful collection of Lambs and personally meaniningful timepieces, Guardians.
Good Afternoon Guardians.

Thanks John, Smiths of London made some really nice watches...and some cheap ones!
I have a lot of things that sit in drawers my friend!
Isn't that a Half Sovereign?
My Phoenix avatar was originally my Jack Black Knives company logo. The design came from a family heirloom, a beautifully enamelled silver watch-fob from the British Iron & Steel Confederation. Sadly it was stolen 25 years ago
It is a half sovereign Jack, and I'm running out of drawers, truth be told I think I'm an undiagnosed hoarder.
LOL! Great pic Mike, how do you find the pull on the pen blade?
...
My day-to-day wristwatch is an Orient Mike, been very pleased with it How's the pocket watch?
...
My grandfather was a wire-weaver. He left me a nice gold wristwatch, I sometimes wear, along with two inexpensive pocket watches. I think he carried this in in overall pocket, while working. I think I have had it 40 years, and I'm not sure I've ever carried it. I might wind it up for tomorrow
My, the Guardians sure are a classy bunch today. Well done everyone
Thanks Jack. The pull on the pen actually isn't that bad. Definitely firm, but much better than I was expecting. Maybe a 7? The main is an 8. But one thing to say for the two blade versions, they're a STOUT knife. I'd hate to fall in a lake with it in my pocket
Orient makes a nice watch. I really like mine. It's pretty small for a pocket watch, at around 40mm wide. My understanding is they made this model as a proof of concept, then modified the case for a wrist version.

Wonderful theme of lambsfoots and timepieces today!
The pea shoots have finally poked their little heads out of the ground. It might get down to 32 degrees overnight, so we'll have to see if I need to replant this weekend.
That's a great piece of history too Vince, cool pic of your '19 too
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, fellas!Really great photo of your watch and knife. Nice family heirloom / memory.
I hope your efforts pay off, Rachel.The pea shoots have finally poked their little heads out of the ground. It might get down to 32 degrees overnight, so we'll have to see if I need to replant this weekend.
Sounds like a good plan, Jack. Hope you have a good time even without cake.Think I'll pack a flask of coffee, a sammich, and some fruit so I don't get led astray

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. I’m not saying I’m a hoarder, but I advised my children to bone up up on their archaeological digging skills. That Hartshead and apples image....Frame it-Hang it. In the kitchen.
These two today.

Hope they make it Rachel, ace pic of your ebony Big 'Un Think they are forecasting snow, sleet, more rain, a 'fresh breeze', and some sunshine here tomorrow (those weather forecasters really know how to hedge their bets)! I'll be off down to the market as per usual, going to have to survive without cake though Think I'll pack a flask of coffee, a sammich, and some fruit so I don't get led astray
