Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corp. – 28 year retirement watch
I’ve been photographing jewelry recently because all the reflections make it quite difficult so I wanted the challenge. As I was searching for some jewelry to photograph I came upon Dad’s retirement watch from the Wallingford Steel Mill, later to become Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation.
