why settle at a truck load when you can fill a whole ambulance! Today I was asked to visit someone who was disposing of a 50 year collection of watch parts, I do not know what I will find... if anything! will it pay off??? let's hope so as I go through the collection and look for hidden gems saved from the trash!
follow us on instagram @ curiosityincyeg and see when we fix and post these for sale
or on facebook under curiosity incorporated
thanks for watching!

THANK YOU MY FRIEND! I have been sitting on a collection of antique pocketwatches and wristwatches for YEARS! I just have no idea what to do with them! Elgin, Lady Elgin, Waltham, Illinios, Hamilton, Bulova etc majority of them dating back to the early 1800's. I have cases, crystals, parts, movements, beezels etc. I would LOVE to sell the collection as a whole to someone who is young and motivated to restore them, not someone looking for arts and craft accessories! I live in Salt Lake City. If you or anyone who may read this can be of any help I would love to hear from you! I LOVE Curiosity Inc and this You Tube channel! I am also so happy to be the proud new owner of some beautiful pottery crafted by Mary(inspiration) and can't wait to visit your store this fall! Thanks Alex!
