I will start the challenge with time pieces,……..

This is my great grandfather’s pocket watch, presented to him in 1873 by the good folk around the Black Lane area of Radcliffe, Lancashire (UK) after five and a half years service as a policeman. It very nearly went out of his direct family line after the death of my brother a couple of years ago but after much persuasion it is now in my care for a while. I shall ensure it passes to one of my grandchildren before I pop off. Alongside it in my brothers trinket draw was another pocket timepiece date 1813 about which I know nothing. I hope to get permission to research that one.
