Some of these have already been posted but I thought they looked good as part of the collection. I have a couple more but they're in different stages of repair and don't look like much right now. Pictured here are a South Bend, an Illinois, a Seth Thomas, a few Elgins and Walthams and a couple of Hamiltons. They all run. I carry one with me every day. I love reaching into my pocket whenever I want to and touching all that history. It's so cool!
