Now I have your attention, all paid for auctions were posted today, second class standard delivery so you should get them soon init?
I have added some new auctions today and still wading through a pile of watch scrap.
I heard ticking in the box and narrowed it down to this little pendant watch which I wound up and will check it out while it is in the auction.
Grab a bargain with a start price of only 50p.
Have a look there might just be something in there for your new project or one you haven't thought about yet.

It's till ticking away with a fast beat, gaining about an hour a day.
I'll pull it to bits tonight, well maybe not but I will play with the regulator and see if I can slow it down to somewhere near a timekeeper.

You got a bargain there Paul, glad you like it init?
Your building a collection from my depleting collection, I have taken a couple of auctions off as they are better suited to a larger audience.
I'll give a link when they are on eBay so if anyone has an interested in them they can follow or bid.

Well I'll be buggered init?
That little lot came from my ol grannies wedding box which held her rings and cards, later used by my mum for trinkets, dads cufflinks and collar studs.
It was covered in some sort of fabric which just couldn't be restored and dad was gonna throw it out, well he did but I salvaged the hardware from it and kept it till a project came along for it then forgot all about it.
Dunno where or when it originated but I can say she got wed in 1918 when Grandad came home safe from war, so if it ain't already antique it soon will be init?
I never knew that grandad he got gassed in the war and died in the chemist shop while waiting for his prescription.
Never was a key all my life, I made that one just for the auction.
Glad it's gonna be put to good use, please do show us pics when its done.
