Cindy & I have some older stuff...40's and 50's. NOT waterproof like 60's and 70's, so we wear only on special times. Hamilton and Omega for her...I have an old Lord Elgin. Makes me wish we had a digital camera. Cindy's Hamilton is really pretty, diamond decorated...purchased new in 1957 for her mother as a gift from her father. Engraved on the back, so it will stay in her family. Had it appraised for insurance purposes. I had no idea old Hamiltons were so valuable! Maybe it was the diamonds?
