I'm really happy for you Fi .

It is so fantastic to get something like that back into your family . Do you know how long it had been out of your family ? It is a wonder that you saw it and managed to buy it back . Well done you : ))

Well done Fi, enjoy.
I'm sure he will be resting in peace knowing that you have it.
I am genuinely happy for you.

nudgeed for anyone interested

IT IS HERE!

The item I brought from ebay is an engraved gold pocket watch which belonged to a Great Grandfather. It was given to him by his employees in 1923 for long service of 15 years. It was presented on what would have been my birthday had I been living then. It states his name, and his employees names. I know it is his as I have him on the census working for this company in 1911. I also have his and his wife's death certs which states his employment. They died in 1933 within a week of each other.

Fi.

As soon as I have it in my hands I will tell you what IT is.

You never know this could be as soon as tomorrow!

Thanks for your interest!!

Fi, I am so happy for you that you managed to retrieve your property.... which it definitely is!
Looking forward to seeing what it is, enjoy it, whatever it is.
Best wishes,

I don't know what to say Fi.
My father died a couple of years ago and his brother was handed his WW11 medals which included a Mentioned in Despatches Oak leaf.... I so wanted them for my son.
He, my uncle , phoned me to 'explain'....that he had given them to his own son!!!
Yeah right... he then goes on to tell me that he was off at the weekend for a wee holiday in Scotland at the weekend!
God forgive him... such a hurtful thing to do to me.
I know EXACTLY the pain you are feeling.

:-))))

Well done Fi glad you will have it in the family soon, are you going to tell us what it is? Hope it is in good condition.

That's great news! I bet you are thrilled. Well done.

Alison

Pleased to hear the news, please let us all know when it has arrived safely
Kind regards, Liz

well done you so glad its back in the family where it belongs and at least you got a bit off

Well done Fi, hope it arrives OK and you are happy with it. Enjoy it.

I can now say that I have brought it. The owner lowered the price by £70.00 so I jumped at it.

I am so looking forward to getting it. If there is anything wrong with it I will be taking it up with them as there is no word of it in the description.

If my sister doesnt want to give it to my nephews I will advise her to give it to a cousin. They will appreciate it. However for now it will be MINE!!!! and it will be cherished forever.

Thank you all for your comments, pm's etc. I really do appreciate it.

Fi :) :) :)

Geordiegirlatheart, why should the people accept the first offer, those dealers usually make a healthy profit anyway and know what something is worth, most of the time. Some people go back and give a donation to the charity shop after they have sold something on.

I would but too Fi---is the item something that has actually been valued at £5oo or are theybeing greedy? been b's
