this lovely little piece came for the milnerton market in cape town. the women i bought it from told me that it belonged to her mother and she reckons it’s over 150 years old. hmmmm……. i doubt it, i think the lady that sold it to me had over 150 beers before she came up with that number. but anyway i really like it and i’ve never seen a swan watch before, so i think it’s pretty special. there is a stamp on the back, it’s says Past Times, i tried google-ing it, i couldn’t find the swan anywhere. oh well….
i love this.. i collect swans.. i only have ceramic swan things.. and a really pretty brooch whick i got this holiday.. i set up my blog, but havent put anything on it yet.. i’ll put up all my swans, theyre pretty!!
can’t wait to see. i think if your soon-to-be blog and my blog had to get married, they would be so happy.
I’d like to give that thing babies I like it so much. Well done pants. well done!

That is a beauty of a piece! It could very well be 100 years or more old – i have an antique brooch from my great gran that has the same stones and marquesite craftmenship.
You Lucky Pony you!
thank you Lea…… x
So envious…although have you seen the enamel and brass swans, like the birds and owls i sell, buy the jeweller, ‘Skermunkil?’ Thats my friend Marietjie. She’s a legend in her own time. I don’t have pics of the swans, but here are the others. http://www.flickr.com/photos/beatnikbazaar/sets/72157618900230774/
