Show and Tell Friday: A Collection of Antique Pocket Watches

Here it is Friday again and time for another "Show & Tell" hosted by our lovely Cindy at
My Romantic Home.
My hubby has been collecting vintage pocket watches for years and here is just a small portion of his collection.....he found these lovely burlwood cases to hold and display some of his watches....he put one on his Christmas list for the last two years.
I think this is a terrific way to display his watches and still keep the dust off of them and they are space saving as well.
Take a hop over to My Romantic Home and see all the other participants in "Show & Tell" Friday.

Have an enjoyable weekend and thanks in advance for your comments!With the lid open

The boxes stack nicely on top of each other.....great for space saving.

Tell your husband that he has a great collection and those display boxes are beautiful.

Husbands are so helpful - even in blogging.
