The other day I showed the screwdriver sharpening rig I made while the last coat of lacquer dried on my pocket watch & said I would showed  you how it turned out. So here it is. The case is engraved with " U.S. Shipping Board" , which was formed before WW1 when it looked like the US would enter the war. We apparently had only a tiny merchant navy. It's job was to build ships & train crews to man them. You can Google it & find out more if your interested.

The case is nickel & the before picture will show you how bad it was. I spent a long time polishing it & putting a movement, dial, ane crystal. It was still a bit dull so I used lacquer to fill in the letters. I think it will add a lot to my collection.
