Not WH Smith - they just sell books! Smiths produced many different character clocks and watches, but I have grave doubts about this one - if this is what you are talking about!
The same seller on ebay - newsol - sold quite a few of them about two years ago and they mostly fetched over £100 - but!!!!!!!!!! They just looked a bit too good to be true and I must admit I wondered if they were being skilfully put together in the 21st century.

Re: Famous Five Pocket Watch
I like the Lord Snooty one, Pete. But I don't think I would be able to afford it.
