    Car Boot Sundays

    The car boots are still on around here because of the reasonable weather. However it is a place to be sure of wearing a mask and gloves as it is the nearest I get to other folks. Found a few bits and pieces. Some watches as below.

    French Morbier clock. Strikes twice on the hour and half hour. I power it with two sash window weights. One removed because the strike would awaken the dead:

    A few,watches. I like the Old England, popular in the 1960s. Also a silver ladies bracelet watch, a marcasite and a couple of vintage movements:


    But this is my best find for the weekend. English cylinder escapement fusee.1807

    I bought a few other thing like paintings, cameras and tools and some OO guage model railway stuff. It still amazes me what turns up here.

    Some nice finds. And 1807, just two years after Trafalgar!
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    This year has been good plenty of bargain watches ! as charity shops were not open for a long time and furlough meant everybody had a big tidy up .
