AN OLD TIMER.
History Of a watch Made in London in
1921.

History of a watch Made in London in
1921.
Seth Longabaugh. a prospector aud
mine owner of Butte, has In his possess
sion probably one of the most valuable
relics in the country. 1t is a timeplecs in
the shape of q watch, and bearing the
name and date Of Joseph Davis, Lon
don, 1921" The g~euuineness of the article
is unQuestioned, aud its great value lies
in the fact that the earliesu record OF q
pocket tlniepiece Is 1874, and Of Swiss
make.
The Davis watch has been an heir
loom of the Swan family for nearly
200 years. 1t hually came into
the possession of Frank Swan. one
Of the family, who lives in Me-
yada. He did not appreciate the value of
the watch and gave it to the children to
play with. and when MIR. L~eugauaugh
first saw it, about fourteen years ago, the
land had been broken off and one of the
three cases within which the works were
enclosed was lost. He recognized its
value and secured it from swan.
The watch III question doubtless repre-
senIs the labor or many years. as it WAS
made eati.ely y hand, aud the tool marks
throughout all It's parGs are plaiuly visi-
bic, ana The watch was probably The Only
one nude by Mr.. Davis, OF London. The
machinery consists of Il large steel bal
auce wheel, which works with a pendu-
lunl like a lever. and in place Of the mod
ern hairspring is a long steel chain which
winds aud unwind, upon pulleys. An-
other large wheel, the purpose OF which
is not apparent, looks like a beltwheei on
81 threShing machine.
The works are protected and held to-
gether by Il hne orna mental network OF
brass, carved out by hand and riveted to
getler with brass rlvets, which show
plain hammer marks. On the back
OF the works is a polished steel
face similar to the second dial on a mod
eru watch, but the figures running from
l to 6. The object of it has never been
figured out by any of the jewellers
who have examined it. The face of The
are marked by raised Roman numerals.
Around the edge Of the faces are figures
from five to sixty, to represent either Sec
onds or minutes, In the centre of the
dial is the British coat of arms in raised
brass, consisting of the crown. lion and
unicorn.
The whole works are enclosed in a sill
YER hemisphere, the silver being nam
merei and sharpened by hand, the in
d%entures of the hammer showing dis
tiucLly. On tie outside Of the silver case
is another of hammered brass, and the
evidence is plain that at Que time there
was still a third case on the outside
of these two. The watch was
wound up with some kiud of Il key, the
keyhole being protected by a rude trap or
Sliding door.
The watch is said to have been In run
ming order up tn twenty years ago. 1t
weighs about four ounces. and in shape
looks like a base ball cut in half.
