So, this is a really deep dive into Sorcy Lore.![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mountchic might remember but I doubt most other folks would know.
In roughly 11th grade, my grandmother gave me a pocketwatch, which had belonged to her great aunt.
It was a tiny gold nurse's watch, to be worn on a necklace. I wore it as a pocketwatch for a few months before it stopped working. So I gave it to mom to get repaired somewhere
I went off to college. Mom did try to find a place that would repair it. Somewhere in the mess of college and moving away from Maryland, it disappeared, and mom apologized profusely
As best we could figure, she had brought it to a watch shop, they had given her the wrong thing back, and it was gone. Also that shop was closed and we lived in Illinois now
So I put it in The Book Of Lost Things and was sad about it every once in a while when I remembered that I'd briefly had this really cool heirloom
Mom found it
This watch is about twelve decades old and hasn't been in my hands for almost two of them.
It still needs repair, but on closer examination it says it's originally from a factory in Waltham. That's...doable!
And if any locals know anything about a reputable antique watch repair, please let me know!
