Hidden Finds at Pawn Shops - Timeless Antique Watch

Hidden Finds at Pawn Shops - Timeless Antique Watch - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Hi, my name is Elliot Salter and I am the proprietor of Elliot Salters Pawn Shop. Many years ago, when I was in my old location before I moved here, I gave a loan on this old pocket watch and the girl called me after it expired and she wanted to come back and pick it up. It was really neat and I really did not want to give it back to her but I said OK, come on in and get it back but, she never came in. And it is a repeater watch and it is also an automated watch. It is very, very cool. What this is, it is an old, old watch that, at night when you could not see and you did not have flashlights or anything, you could tell what time it was because it shined. That would tell you the hours, the quarter hours and the minutes. Some repeaters did the hours only, some did quarters, hours and quarters, some did hours and fives. But, it is very neat and what makes it really cool, hopefully you can see the hands banging on the bells. I probably gave, we are talking 40-45 years ago, I might have given $200 dollars for this then, which was probably over a weeks salary for most people. These watches today are probably worth from three to ten thousand dollars.
