[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 145697, member: 22"]I have this Japanese china tea service which has been in my family since the early 30`s, it was brought back from Japan in the late 20`s by my uncle, a merchant seaman. Its not antique yet, someone on the eBay board dated it to 1927-28. [ATTACH=full]39038[/ATTACH] I also have my paternal grandfathers silver pocket watch hallmark dated 1905 and inscribed "For 5 years perfect attendance 1909 " (School) His gold wristwatch that is a little battered from around WWI which travelled the world with him for over 60 years when he was also a merchant seaman. Both still work. [ATTACH=full]39039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]39040[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
