Gold Pocket Watch
Elgin Natl. Watch Co.

While showing a VCR tape of a slide show presented at the Maynard Historical Society in April of 1989 one of the participants was reminded of a train accident from a picture of a train approaching the Summer St. crossing. In the 1920's a man driving a Ford Coupe was struck by a train from Boston about 8 PM. A passenger disembarked from the train and picked up the watch from the sidewalk. It remained in his family for many years until it was anonymously donated to the Society.
