This live auction includes
The All Things Rockford Collection.
Growing up as a neighbor of Seth Atwood and his incredible Time Museum in Rockford, Illinois, Mr. Dean Olson was introduced at an early age to the collecting of pocket watches. Mr. Olson focused on collecting primarily Rockfords, which Jones & Horan has the great privilege of selling in its entirety over multiple auctions in 2018. There are over 75 Rockford lots in this auction!
This auction also features the Collection of David Pasternak. Over 60 years ago, when David Pasternak was in the grocery business in Channelview, Texas, he developed an interest in clocks and started collecting grandfather clocks, ship’s clocks and other large timepieces. He kept them around the house and also in the grocery store. His interests soon expanded to smaller timepieces that included wristwatches and pocket watches. He became friendly with other watch and clock collectors and joined the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC). David served as President of the San Jacinto Chapter of NAWCC from 1989- 1990. He bought and sold timepieces all over the country. When eBay first went online, David participated in watch auctions, sometimes waking up in the middle of the night to bid on timepieces he really wanted to add to his collection. His collection grew in size and quality over the years, and his love of wristwatches, pocket watches, ship’s clocks and grandfather clocks persisted until his death in 2014.
