The above watch was stolen
in a burglary over 12 years ago. Mr S C Embley has since died and
the family would very much like it back. This watch is of great
sentimental value to the family. If you have been offered this
watch or have any information, please get in contact with me (John
Baker) via my email address info@austinmemories.com
The
family don't care who's actually got it, and are willing to give a
reward for the safe return.
