Pocket watches.

Loading Image...

So in the process of cleaning out the garage, I came across of a tub of family memorabilia and these pocket watches were inside. I wonder if they are worth anything and wonder where I would go to find out?

@Cbear :
It's been years since I've been in there, but you might check The Forrest Collection, near Lubys on 59. He gave me advice on an old watch years ago.

If not valuable, you might make a cute memorabilia item for your kids.

@Bloom : I doubt that they would be interested in them but it is a good suggestion.

@Bloom : Oh thanks. I was hoping that I don't have to drive all over Houston.

@Cbear : He may not be any help, but I was appreciative of advice he gave me about 10 years ago about an old watch I have. And it's a convenient place to go.

@Bloom : My problem would be ...not spending anything while I am there!

@botanylover :
Yes they do. But I'm really big on antique things. For example, I love the old tin saltine cans, Ritz crackers cans and even Band-Aid tins. The Hershey's cocoa powder used to come in tins too. Now all of that stuff comes in cardboard boxes. It doesn't stay nearly as fresh and it's not as cool.

@Weathergirl5 : It's true. My mom has always kept her saltines in an old saltine box. Reading your post makes me think of that and smile.

@Weathergirl5 @botanylover :
I have an old saltine tin that I bought back in the early 70s. I remember at the time, it cost more than the box, and money was tight. But I splurged, and 50 years later, still use it.
