Help ID Maker: Ostrich Leather Wallet Made in England SS

I obtained this vintage wallet made in England of genuine ostrich leather. The accents are clearly marked 14K followed by SS on a circle.

24K Gold or Not?

If I could figure out a way to get that portion of the watch onto my flat bed scanner, at 14000 DPI resolution, I would be able to answer that question.

Pyramid w/ Palm Tree Hallmark on 14K 1870-1910? Pocketwatch

My 10-year-old daughter, who shares my love for all things vintage, came across this beautiful little 14K pocket watch and asked me to get it for her. I did. Since opening it to take the pictures included here, the watch has kept accurate time non-stop for more than a week. Some of my expensive bran...
