Pocket Watches

Both my grandfathers used pocket watches.  From about seventh grade through high school I too carried a pocket watch.  I preferred baby bend watches that went for about three or four dollars and were sold at checkout counters.  The baby bens kept poor time–off three to five minutes a day.  They also broke often.  Nonetheless I liked them for this very reason stating I did not want the correct time always strapped to by wrist.

For awhile I had a Sears Hunter watch which was a Christmas present
