“Dorothy  Hurford has helped to orchestrate, research and facilitate a unique collection of ‘historic wristwatches’ dating from approximately 1890 to the 21st century, including close to 40 legendary manufacturers; tracking the growth and decline of fortunes through cycles of peace and war, depression and recovery and scientific revolution.”

“Dorothy, your organization of my miniature Dachshund collection was invaluable.  It enabled me to advertise in a professional format which resulted in my selling it for much more than I would have received if  I’d dealt separately with each item to say nothing of the time and effort saved.”
