Description
A collection of twelve nursing and fob watches together with a vintage book titled The Story of Nursing. The book is written by J. M. Calder and published by Methuen and Co. Ltd., London, as part of the Methuen Outlines series. It is a hardcover edition with a cream and grey cover featuring a central black and white circular graphic illustration. The watch assortment includes three watches in silicone rubber sleeves of green, orange, and blue with pin-on attachments. Eight watches are metal-cased fob styles in silver-tone finishes with various attachments including mesh straps and link chains. One watch features a gold-tone bezel and cream dial. Also included is a larger silver-tone pocket watch or stopwatch with a top crown and loop. Dials are primarily white with Arabic or Roman numerals, and one silicone watch has a red dial. The majority appear to be quartz movements, while the larger pocket watch may be mechanical.
