Further to my " Very first post"

 

If you would read back a few messages to the above, I can tell you of some interesting developements in the history of my vintage watch.  Having traced the movement as sold to " George R Dodson" in 1892,  I wondered why it left the family.  I now know that it was handed down to his son Mathew in 1934. After that- nothing.  So I contacted the dealer ( Germany) I purchased it from.  He said that he bought it from a deceased estate in Northern Germany in 2007.  I have emailed the Dodsons again asking if any of their family served in the 2nd world war.  I am awaiting a reply from the German  owners survivng daughter. The plot thickens !!
