Richard Price Life story
Richard Price FRS was a Welsh moral philosopher, Nonconformist minister and mathematician. He was also a political reformer, pamphleteer, active in radical, republican, and liberal causes such as the French and American Revolutions.
Holy grail of WW2 watches sells for £12,000
A World War Two Grana watch sat gathering dust in a drawer has sold at auction for £12,000.
A retired teacher, from North Lincolnshire , had it valued after watching an edition of the Antiques Roadshow .
It is one of the so-called Dirty Dozen wristwatches produced by 12 companies for the military during wartime.
The Grana is one of the rarest as The Company produced the fewest watches.
The Man , who wished to remain anonymous, had watched an edition of the long-running show recorded at the Ulster Folk Museum .
Horological expert Richard Price explained the history of the Dirty Dozen watches to the owner of an Omega watch, which he then valued at up to £2,500.
Mr Price added: " The rare one is the Grana, the Holy Grail of the Dirty Dozen. "
The Teacher then looked in a drawer containing items inherited from Family Members More Than 50 Years ago and discovered the Grana watch.
James Laverack, auctioneer at John Taylors in Louth, said The Discovery was " something of a miracle".
" The retired teacher actually missed the transmission of the Ulster Antiques Roadshow a few weeks ago but, a real stroke of luck, he decided to view it later.
" He knew nothing about the Dirty Dozen nor just how rare The Watch is. "
Mr Laverack said it is believed between 145,000 to 150,000 watches were made by 12 companies during The War .
" Most of The Chosen firms supplied at least 10,000. Omega hit 25,000. Grana made the smallest number, perhaps as few as a thousand.
" Dirty Dozen collectors dream of completing a full set. Only 20 are known to have made it So Far - and that's entirely down to the rarity of the Grana. "
He Said it was a " brilliant" sale and rare for Lincolnshire - " a lot of money for what looks like a fairly ordinary watch. "
