[LM_NET] HIT: Earhart's watch

[Mary Beth Roche <MRoche@EDAFF.COM>]

I know there has already been a hit post on my question, but I have
received a few more responses and would like to share them in case some
others might be interested.

 

I personally have been fascinated with Amelia Earhart witch started when
I first learned about her probably in my fourth grade history class.  I
went to see "Amelia" this weekend and was not disappointed at all.  The
movie was done well.  For some reason, throughout the movie, my eyes
kept on focusing on her watch (I suppose I now have another
fascination).  

 

 

 

That is interesting about the watch..  I am from Atchison, KS,
birthplace of Amelia Earhart.  You should come for the Amelia
celebration every July.

Lou Foudray is the curator of the museum.

 

 

***Anne Birney, who is not from Atchison, but has been here many times,
is a first person historic performer who portrays Amelia.  She is
extremely knowledgable.

Hope this helps and let me know what you find out.

I don't know about a picture, but one site says she was wearing a
Seagrave watch at the time of the disappearance.



 

Most people on a watch forum think it is either a Longine's Weems or
Hour Angle.  It is generally agreed that it is a quartz version, so it
is a modern watch that is available and not an overly expensive brand.
I collect old watches and check watch forums often.
