“My love of Star Wars has been and will always be strong”
If there is one thing that most Americans have in common, it is the Star Wars movies. The arrival of Shows such as THE MANDOLORIAN and THE CLONE WARS proves that power of Star Wars nostalgia is still running strong. As a 90’s kid, I grew up with Star Wars! My mother introduced me to the amazing characters that George Lucas created in 1977 and very quickly I was running to the toy store begging for Star Wars toys. I can remember fondly my Grandfather, Milton Sharp giving me an Imperial Walker for Christmas! My screams of delight were echoing through the hallways as I reenacted the battle of Hoth and my parent's living room was transformed into the snowy tundra of the battlefield!

How many of you can remember in 1977 anxiously awaiting the opening of the very first Star Wars movie? I know in our household it was all we could talk about from us in anticipation. I can remember loading up in the family station wagon and heading out to the theater near us hope and praying I can get a box of popcorn and maybe even a Coke.

“No Holes in MY Pocket!”
The beauty and craftsmanship is something to appreciate in each of these time pieces. The older watches tend to be more valuable than the new versions on the market. Originally, these time pieces were made with gold or silver and inlaid with precious stones. They were the common way to mark the time from the 16th century and declined in popularity once the wristwatch was introduced around the time of World War I. Needless to say, keeping up with a valuable pocket watch just wasn’t plausible during combat in the trenches.
