Broken

Broken
TSC and Sight and Sound

The challenge this week is "Broken."

I've been a little broken myself lately and have been off for awhile so I will combine this challenge with one of the others that I've missed this last month ("Texture").

This old pocket watch has been broken for many years..... It belonged to my husband's grandpa who bought it in 1887 (at the age of 16) with his first paycheck. It cost one dollar.

They say a broken clock is right twice a day, so I guess this one is still going strong. ;)

I say this clock could be fixed ;-) But on the other hand, old clocks deserve to become retired as well =D

Funny how people who retire after many years of service in some company usually gets a wrist or pocket watch as a gift, when there is no longer need to keep eye on time.

Especially retirees need a watch, they never have enough time, especially at the supermarket checkout! ;-DD

A beautiful old keepsake Karen and I love how you've not only captured it, but presented it here with the added texture ... must admit though at first glance I could have sworn it had been made by the Hamilton Witch Company! ;)

I wonder: one dollar in 1887, how much would that be these days?

Karen's Place club has replied to PhLB - Luc Boonen club
Did you know that there is such a thing as an "Inflation Calculator"? (neither did I!)

It says the it would be equivalent to 25 dollars today. Here you go Luc: Inflation Calculator

Welcome back, Karen. Hope your shoulder is much better. Beautiful work and love the presentation. "A broken clock is right twice a day" is a super phrase :-) An inspired musical match for 'Sight and Sound'. New music to me...like it! Faved work and thanks very much for posting, Karen.
