Screwdriver, Used by Henry Ford for Watch Repair, 1876-1878
01
Artifact Overview
Watches were some of the first machines to catch Henry Ford's interest. He received a pocket watch for his 13th birthday which he quickly took apart -- and then put back together in perfect working order. Young Ford often repaired watches for friends and neighbors. He never charged for his services; the experience he gained was reward enough.
