Lovely composition. I would like to think they are awaiting restoration.

Thanks so much. They were awaiting sale. I found these at a antique faire/flea market; this vendor had boxes full of old keys, thimbles, etc. I have to wonder where he finds all of them. Next trip there, I will take photos of the other things and ask him.

Thanks James. The old and chipped pieces do impart a sense of sadness. I wonder who wore the watches these came from

This would be a wonderful story to write, with San Francisco or Oakland as a backdrop (Alameda is right across the Bay).

I thought of that, but don’t consider Alameda as travel since it’s nearby. Guess I have to figure out the parameters of “travel”.

Yes. So I handed your case over to the tribunal. We meet tonight to go over all such cases. But don’t worry. They operate on a three strikes basis. You only have one.

Hey, how come I already have the strike before the tribunal meets?. . . eh, no matter, I know how to fix such things. . .

The first strike is merely symbolic. No worries. I think.

Thank you so much Joseph. The display really captured my attention; and I’ve wondered why someone would saved all these watch faces. The only post processing I did was to dim the brightness a little bit.
