Seeking the 1950s Famous Five pocket Watch that was produced for WHSmith.
Preferably in good, clean, working order
Thanks

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.

Why is George@Kirrin credited as last post, when it's Tony?

That's the one Tony, my apologies, Smiths...
I got all excited seeing 2 replies so quickly, thought someone may have one for me

I like the Lord Snooty one, Pete. But I don't think I would be able to afford it.
