A One of a Kind...Super-Find
Jon Gentry’s very special Elgin Sportsman, 15 jeweled, gold filled, men’s pocket
watch is a once in a life time find. The watch case is specially made by Jas. Boss & is
14k double gold rolled - a unique process. Although found in the woods, it is in remarkable shape with little environmental damage. The seconds hand needs to be replaced as well as the glass protector. The watch mechanism will need the loving care
of a watch maker to restore it to working condition. The watch face cover plate is very
ornate & has an engraved elk on it. The mechanism cover plate is engraved “Mother
1897.” Recessed into the back of this cover plate is an intact cardboard insert with
the watch case manufacturers information & guarantee. The final plus is that it still has
its watch chain attached. Great Find!
Annual Bake Sale was a Sweet Success...Thanks to the club members for their
purchases via the auction and their donations of home-baked & store-bought cakes,
pies, cupcakes, cookies or other sweet surprises for the auction. Also special thanks
to Jon Gentry for being our auctioneer again as he made this event fun as well as
helping to make this a good fund raiser for the club. A special thanks to Rick Razor’s
mother, Charlotte Nicholson for all her cakes & cookies that she baked & donated.
