Well, not being able to look at your watch, I’d say take it to a watch repair shop. I’m not been a smart alec: if your watch won’t wind, it could be any one–or several–of aver a hundred reasons why. An expert is going to have to open it up and look at it.

Question by AddieBelle : Can some one explain these lyrics?

These lyrics make no sense! can some one please explain them to me?

Birdhouse in Your Soul
Artist: They Might Be Giants (Buy They Might Be Giants CDs)
Album: Flood

I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It’s a simple message and I’m leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e
My story’s infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn’t rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am

There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you’re at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you’re at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you’re at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)

Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Answer by Ruben L

Question by Joe B : Approx value of an antique pocket watch?

I inherited an antique pocket watch recently and am curious as to what it might be valued? I did some initial research and found it to be made in 1915 and is 14K gold. The marking on the front read ‘Longines’ and ‘Shreve Crump and Low’.

I have about 30 photos of it that I’d like to share with anyone that is knowledgable on them. I’ve went to a few pawn shops and SCL themselves and everyone just wanted it for the gold.

I’m looking to sell, but I don’t know what type of value it may have.

thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Patty
never sell to pawn shop unless you know how to calculate the value of gold per days gold.
check out the watch and clock collectors organization. they have shows all around the country and possibly near you at some time. also
cleves and lonneman in bellevue kentucky are well known, very knowledgeable and honest. they have a web site. and you can contact them. they can possibly give you the name of a reputable person in your area.
another hint for your selling price. the value of the pocket watch is more in antique value than in gold weight cause the movements(the insides) are very heavy . however, if the watch is not desirable as an antique and the only value seems to be for the gold take it all apart and have the gold weighed by several jewelers to find out the penny weight of it. this is how gold is purchased for scrap which is what it would be considered. to determine how much you should get, know the gold market for that day and take it to several places to get quote before selling.
at today’s gold…. scrap is around 38 dollars a dwt (penny weight) but you will never get that from anyone buying.
always keep in mind whoever you are selling to, you must leave them room to make money.
you might also try to contact Longines. they actually have museums. your piece may even be that good.
there are so many things that determine value of pocket watches.
do more research, it will drive you crazy, but may be interesting to you.
may be that your watch could be something you would pass down and not sell.
no matter what you decide the key for anything is to always trust who you are dealing with.

Best answer:

Answer by Raphael Potts
Fake watches are bad! But if you were to get one, i think that the Longines watch is a good choice. If you were to get a watch that isnt a replica brand then i would go to Macy’s or Dillard’s and find a watch that is a simple as you can get. Simple is the best
