Todays Project - What did you do today?

Mick according to the serial number it was made somewhere around 1897 give or take a year sometimes the records weren't kept up like they should of been.

Sas seeing as how the minute hand is only about 3/32 wide at the widest part excluding the hole I think it think it would take a little longer then an hour to make one.

this is what the minute hand looks like

I was just refering to some egos on other sites at times! Lol

I wish my eyes and shaky hands could do that work. a lovely watch.

and Sus I agree some are only too quick to be the critic, but don't post any photos either during or after the event,

Brian;
if you saw how bad I shake and how screw up my eye's are you wouldn't say that. If I can get one apart and put it back together anyone can. The hands weren't made by hand but were cast from what I can find out by the thousands and them finished by child labor more then likely, I know from what I have read that Elgin employed childern as young as 12 which by todays standard were payed nothing but in the late mid to late 1800's someone making a dollar a week was doing pretty good.
