Default Walter Johnson's personally owned pocket watch w/provenance

Posted By: javan brigham

I'm sure most are saving for upcoming auctions but I'd love to find a home for this piece. It's not a pocket watch you would likely use as it needs work(a new crystal, hands, and a good cleaning). But it sits in an attractive little glass and wood diplay case with transparent back so the inscription is readable. I had a nice $30,000+ collection once and this piece would attract more attention than any card I ever had. A PERSONAL ARTIFACT FROM WALTER JOHNSON-and it comes with a signed letter of provenance which explains its story. If you are only interested in objects that you can look up values for in a price guide, I guess this is not for you. But if you love the idea of looking up at the same time piece The Big Train once looked at...shoot me an e-mail and I'll send photos. Thanks.
