Etsy SteamTeam Contest Entry This started with what is possibly a clock housing. Challenged by the current Etsy SteamTeam's contest to make a steampunk piece with moving parts, I immediately got the idea of making a steampunk version of the child's toy that has a cardboard bottom with holes and several free-rolling balls which can be put in the holes by manipulating the toy. So I used some existing holes and added a wonderful cog and several other steamy watch parts to give a more challenging terrain for moving the balls over and into. There is a protective pocket watch lens cover that has the haze of age upon it and the 3 tiny balls are Sterling silver so that they show up clearly against all the lovely old brass. The "toy" is prong-set on a vintage brass filigree and the whole assemblage dangles from a 22" vintage gold-filled chain. Some vintage chain dangles off the toy for further steamy vibes. I am a trained, if somewhat playful, silversmith and have assembled this piece to last. A J W Benson Silver Gents Key wound Half Hunters pocket Watch; This watch belonged to my wife's grandfather. It dates to1889 and was from the JW Benson Ludgate factory in London. It is a key wound pocket watch made from 925 sterling silver; the watch sailed the world with "Spike" as he was apparently known, in his war years as a serving officer in the Navy.
