it looks like a normal pocket watch,
a no frills timepiece,
just one of many of hundreds and thousands of pocket watches made in the 1920s,
the back has a nice motif, and a place for the owners initials to be engraved,
opening the back cover nothing of any note except the makers mark,
it is only when you look at the movement that the watches secret is revealed,
it is a masonic watch, one of 2,600 made
by Dudley Watch Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the 1920s, the movement of the watch is shaped like Masonic symbols, a slipper,
plumb, trowel, level, square, compasses, the Letter “G” and a Bible, depending
on the style of the case, the cost of a Dudley Masonic Watch ranged from $125
to $250, nowadays a rare and sort after watch, I found this one for sale, yours for £3,740.37, a plain looking watch with an amazing secret!
