Looking for a circa 1901 Ingersoll Yankee dollar pocket watch. It doesn't have to be in working order, there is a very good repair person nearby to me. I'm just looking for one that can be made to run for inclusion in an era package. Shoot me a PM if you have one or know of one available.

 

Thanks.

I don't know where to get one, though I see a fair few Yankee watches on ebay. I would love to get a Robert Ingersoll Dollar Watch to go with my Charles Ingersoll Dollar pen collection. It would have to be before Feb 1922 and the sale of the company to Ingersoll-Waterbury.

 

Good luck, and do show pictures when you get it!

So if you have a lot of ink,

You should get a Yink, I think.

Well, I did buy one off ebay that was touted as 1901 for parts. The innards, though, are patent stamped with '04 and the serial number places its manufacture in 1911. Close. But I need pre-1910, with 1901 preferred. I am keeping it, though. Doesn't mean the case isn't 1901, I'll have to have a watch repair/maker check it out. There seems to be plenty of pre-1922 dollar watches around. Will let you know if I spy one that may interest you.

And... FOUND! I just got one off the infamous bay that had a clear picture of the serial number. A site I found on the 'net places it right about 1901-1902, though the seller had an early guess of 1891. Well, 1891 to 1902 is the period I needed, and it's close enough to being 1901 to count for me! Plus, it looks to be in excellent shape. A trip to the watch guy for a tune-up...

 

whew! This has been a project. But that doctoral gift is shaping up rather nicely, now.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
