Let’s see your memorabilia?!

This is actually my daily watch. It’s an Elgin, manufactured in Illinois during WWII and issued by the War Department, hence the Ordinance Dept stamping on the cover. The dial is painted with radium for night viewing and take it from a retired nuclear worker, it will send a frisker (aka Geiger Counter) into orbit.

It works great and about every 4-5 years I send it off to a watchmaker for cleaning and oiling.

This is my late father’s Hamilton Railroad watch, which he had when he worked for the railroad (where he met my mother). These were special watches issued by the railroad and routinely calibrated to keep all railroad employees synchronized to prevent accidents. It works perfectly and I occasionally wear it. It’s an amazing piece of machinery!
