I guess the reason I love vintage things over new things is the story behind the item. I always wonder who had the item, where was it placed, why it is in my hands...did they tire of it, did family members pass it on?
The items I'm sharing today are from my maternal grandfather. He was a minister that tinkered with clocks as a hobby. Because of him, I developed my appreciation for these timepieces...it's their faces that truly hold their story.
This is a little pocketwatch inside a cloche.
I wonder if most kids know that clocks were once wound with keys?
Looks like these two must have quite a story.
I wonder why this porcelain face needed repair?
This is the face of one of my favorites. The crackle is authentic.
