<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4480286, member: 360&quot;]After nearly 30 years of operation, one of my biggest local antiques shops is closing its doors for good. After the end of next month, the business - indeed, the building itself - will cease to exist. </p><p><br /></p><p>I showed up today to see HUGE red and white signs on the windows announcing their Closing-Down Sale, and loads of things inside were 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50% off. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went scrounging for bargains. </p><p><br /></p><p>After considerable exploration, I came away with this beautiful 1940s railroad chronometer pocketwatch, made by the Elgin National Watch Co., freshly serviced by the dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s B.W. Raymond, one of the company&#039;s flagship models. </p><p><br /></p><p>While the store may not be there much longer, at least I&#039;ll have this to remember what was a major part of my childhood... </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]388993[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388994[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388995[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
