    Yesterday I visited my watch guy to have a few watches looked at.

    Out of the corner of my eye, something caught my attention.

    I cannot imagine how old this thing must be:

    Nice IWC logo:

    This must be the stamp of the maker of the blade:

    One day I'll ask him for this as a little souvenir ;-)))

    :-)

    What I REALLY want from him is this beauty that he just keeps in a drawer. I did mention it again yesterday that I have "first dibs" on the YC!!!! LOL

    When you see tools like that....

    it makes you wonder how many other logo items from the past are floating around in tool boxes or attics or garage sales. Thanks for the pictures. I guess it also convinces me to always carry a camera.

    lol

    This tool must have been for adjusting the balance, I guess....
