Staying in Shan City for a few days, didn't find much good treasure-hunting info.
Today's tip isn't bad.
So Chen Yiyang rode his motorcycle early to buy this pocket watch from the shop.
This is a very old-fashioned watch, likely made around 1940.
As a bank with a turbulent history, Transportation Bank was founded during the Guangxu era. Though it faced various upheavals, it always managed to thrive.
During the war, due to the conflict, it temporarily moved its headquarters to Shan City.
This pocket watch is likely from that period.
