<p>[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 2402389, member: 74571"][USER=8797]@silentnviolent[/USER], so you're a Ranger! You guys are a special breed! [USER=68821]@charlie123[/USER], this thread prompted me to bring two pocket watches to a jeweler today in Fargo, ND. He sends them to a repair specialist in NY. I'm hoping to make enough from the sale of the Omega pocket watch to pay for having both fixed, allowing me to keep Grandpa John's in working condition. I'm sure it hasn't been cleaned...ever...and he would be 156 years old if he were still alive. Besides wishing I had obtained a watch or two from my buddies, I wish I had the large 2'x3'-4' calenders the train men would bring in for the Cafe wall each year, always with the Great Northern goat logo, of course. I think my youngest brother saved a few of them when he got older, but my guess is they were tossed when the new ones came. Of course, knowing how thick the smoke was in the Cafe, I wonder what collectible value they would have had after hanging in the smog for a whole year.</p><p> </p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
