The watches in this portion of the exhibit are those that were collected by Webb C. Ball and survived in his effects until recently when they were sold by one of his descendents to the American Ball Watch Co.

It is interesting to note that these watches are not necessarily in the pristine condition so many watch collectors seek today. Apparently Webb C. Ball had different collecting criteria and different standards of what he found interesting.
