Due to their age and intricate construction, these timepieces can stop working at any time, even after careful testing and description. We recommend considering this factor when purchasing, as these watches may require servicing or repairs to ensure continued functionality. We strive to provide accurate descriptions and detailed information about each item, but please understand that vintage watches are sold as-is and may need professional attention to maintain optimal performance unless otherwise stated. If recently serviced I will state so. If running properly, while in my possession, I will say so. If not running properly, I will also say so. If not running at all, I will say so. There are certainly times when a watch is running while in my possession, and then once received, there may be an issue. Please see below. Shipping old pocket watches and wrist watches comes with several risks that can impact their condition. These delicate timepieces are often sensitive to vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and handling during transit. The risks include: Physical Damage: Vibrations and shocks during shipping can cause internal components to shift or become misaligned, leading to mechanical issues or even complete failure of the watch. Temperature and Humidity Changes: Variations in temperature and humidity can affect the lubricants and materials inside the watch, potentially causing rust, corrosion, or the degradation of delicate parts. Handling Risks: Improper handling or packaging can result in scratches, dents, or other cosmetic damage to the watch's case or crystal. To mitigate these risks, we use high-quality, shock-absorbent packaging, ensure the watch is securely cushioned, and choose a reliable shipping service with insurance options. Proper preparation and care in handling can help protect these valuable and cherished timepieces during transit which we do. Please see my feedback, this typically is not an issue. Thank you for supporting my shop!MEDUSA CORP.MEDUSA CORP., a nationally known cement company, was founded by 3 brothers, Arthur, Spencer, and Wm. Newberry, as the Sandusky Portland Cement Co. in 1892, with offices in Cleveland and a plant at Bay Bridge near Sandusky. The company was shortly renamed Medusa Portland Cement Co. for the Greek goddess Medusa, who turned all who looked at her to stone. In its first 50 years, the company, utilizing a formula for Portland cement discovered by brothers Spencer and William, expanded to 8 plants in 5 states as cement became a popular, relatively low-priced building material. Its real prosperity occurred after WORLD WAR II, however, when pent-up demand for houses, schools, and hospitals and the postwar construction of local and interstate HIGHWAYS increased the use of cement. Medusa enjoyed record sales nearly every year during the 1950s, and by 1959 the company had outgrown its offices in the Midland Bldg. and constructed new headquarters at 3008 Monticello Blvd. in CLEVELAND HTS. The firm expanded and modernized its facilities, doubling its production between 1952 and 1963 and marketed innovative cement products that were precast, prestressed, and pigmented. Acquisitions, beginning in 1969, involved the firm in a variety of building-material and construction operations. In 1972 the company shortened its name to Medusa Corp., and in the late 1970s merged with Crane Co. of New York, a manufacturer of plumbing fixtures, steel, and building products. Crane operated Medusa as a separate subsidiary, with headquarters in Cleveland. In 1982, however, Medusa left the Crane Co. to once again become an independent corporation. In 1993, Medusa acquired a cement plant in Demopolis, Alabama, for $50 million and, under the guidance of senior vice president Phillip W. Gutman, who negotiated new contracts with local utilities and orchestrated other cost saving measures, the purchase increased Medusa's capacity to make cement by 30 percent. By 1995, Medusa employed 90 persons locally and owned 4 cement plants, 10 quarries, and several terminals in 12 states. The following year, the company reported a net income of $52.4 million on revenues of nearly $323.4 million. Early in 1998, Medusa acquired Commonwealth Stone, a producer of crushed-stone based in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The merger increased Medusa's output of aggregate construction materials by over 25 percent to over 7 million tons annually. Later that year, Medusa annouced that it would be acquired by Southdown Inc., a Houston-based cement producer, for $1 billion in stock. The merger created the second largest (and the largest domestically owned) cement company in the country with operations in 11 states. The merger moved Medusa's operations in Cleveland Heights to Houston and left Southdown with a 15-year, $7 million lease for a 3-story office building at 3300 Enterprise Pkwy in BEACHWOOD that was constructed to serve as Medusa's new headquarters. In 1999, Southdown, Inc. completed a deal to transfer the property to the Developers Diversified Realty Corp.Article CategoriesBusiness and IndustryTechnology
