A Box of Vintage Watchmaking Tools and Parts from G & J Watch Repair

In September 2023 I visited Las Cruces, New Mexico and met Ed Ceniceros, the proprietor of G & J Watch Repair. Ed gave me a box of vintage watchmaking tools and parts. In this video I go through the contents of the box and try to figure out what's what.

Thanks Ed!!!

Before opening any vintage watch or clock for the first time (or even a box of tools or parts) I recommend checking it for radium paint. For more information on radium and how to check for it using a geiger counter see this video:
