Also, found an interesting story of another one that was bought for Mary, but never given to her: http://www.liveauctiontalk.com/free_arti...cle.id=668

Wow - I have never heard of either watch, Laurie!!! The second (non-given) one is lovely and would have been very becoming to Mary! As for the first one I find the use of "Abe" in the engraved signature strange - I've always read Abraham Lincoln hated to be called like that. On the other hand I cannot recall reading a source for his dislike of this nickname - does anyone know?
