Re: (erielack) Lackawanna Pocket Watch?

["Gary R. Kazin" <gkazin_@_yahoo.com>]

The engine looks like a New York Central "NIAGARA" 4-8-4 (ALCo built) to
me.  I'd be surprised if this proved to be a genuine watch of any
railroad.  Railroad watches usually came with a cover over the face to
prevent scratching.

More likely Lackawanna is the name of the company that MADE it. 
Lackawanna, NY is south of Buffalo, NY, and was served by the NYC.

The auction does not represent it as a Lackawanna Railroad watch.  Caveat
emptor!
