![]() The Encyclopedia article on Choosing a Pocket Watch Repair Person may be useful as well. It may be helpful for you to read the Encyclopedia article on Watch Service and its related links, especially the one to the message board thread on the subject. ![]() ![]() Unless you know that it has been cleaned and oiled within the last few years, you should have the watch serviced before running it very much. I suspect that your movement was originally in a solid gold case, from which it was removed and then placed in the current case. Ed Ueberall and I maintain a data base of interesting (to us) pocket watches and from this I can tell that the serial number range of these 10-size movements from about 12,000 to 37,000 were 17-jewel movements (there are also other groups of 17-jewel, 10-size movements), marked with that arrow & empty circle symbol (17-jewels, adjusted to 3 positions).Īll of these were sold in Howard-marked cases. This gives you a window during which it was built. Production of these started in 1921 and the company ceased production by 1930. Encyclopedia article (and looking at your pictures), Howard movement serial number 14741 can be seen to be 10-size movement, which has a different serial number sequence from other Howard watches.

![]() ![]() The annotation is not only thorough but illuminating, in terms of reconciling some considerable biographical material with the music at hand, and the packaging is handy. The choice of material is virtually beyond reproach - one might only fault the absence of the epic-length "Love Chronicles" which, at the time of this set's issue, had not yet shown up on CD - and there are enough rarities and unreleased tracks to more than make up for any oversights among the reissued cuts. The producers have done well by the artist, his music, and his fans, with impeccable production, musical and otherwise. That Al Stewart ever achieved sufficient recognition to rate such treatment is extraordinary in itself, if only as a convergence of a fairly outré folk-rock talent with a major portion of the public's taste, for at least a few years. Starting from his debut single, "The Elf" (an early piece of Tolkien-inspired pop/rock), this is a superior overview of Al Stewart's career and musical development, from his early days as a folk-rock figure in the mold of Donovan to his development early in the next decade of a unique approach to songwriting and music. This five-CD set from EMI bears a striking resemblance to the same label's similarly proportioned Hollies box set, The Long Road Home 1963-2003 - both feature a quintet of CDs, one of them technically a live "bonus" disc tucked into an internal sleeve, and are otherwise chock-full of rarities and definitively remastered catalog cuts. |
