from: Paige Lawson: “So I tried to share this from my phone, it went to a message rather than on the board… Anyway, this is a Key wound pocket watch. It was found at my great aunts house after she passed. Works perfectly! Keeps great time. Inside of the back cover is Double D’or K 18. 2 0 0 5 1. I haven’t been able to find any info as to when it was made, but if anyone knows anything, I’d love to find out!”

The case has markings on inside back, “TKGF” & a heart with letters KE. Your post on clocks inspired me to submit this for your consideration. Thank you.”
