thankyou kerry10456!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thankyou toolate2!!!!
This is the watch that started pocket watch fascination. I think my Dad gave me my first Scotty when I was about 10 years old. I tore it apart to see how it worked then couldn't get it back together again...lol... After that it was up to me to buy my own. I think I've owned at least a dozen of them over the years. They cost $3.00 the last time I bought one new. That was in maybe 1975??
