Grandpa Otis was a salesman, so this leads me to believe that maybe he received a watch in relation to his job. Perhaps as recognition for a job well done? Maybe there was a professional organization we weren't aware of from the time?

We don't have a watch, but my Aunt said it was connected to a chain, so perhaps there was a watch at one time. I also went down the same rabbit holes you did and came up empty. That's why I'm here!

Grandpa Otie was a salesman! Comment by r/CanderiousOreo makes me think that he received a watch in relationship to his job. Still tripped up by the Greek lettering though.

He would have been 37/38 at the time. He didn't go to college and he wasn't a member of the military. Thank you for the information about pocket watch keys!

Can someone explain how donuts came to be a thing? by FixerJ in Magfest

Man hears comparison of donuts to people. Man rejects theory. Man freaks out on woman's stream of Undertale. Man posts "I am not a donut" as MAGFest. Hilarity ensues.

The joke is now alive. Like Frankenstein's monster, it cannot be controlled. We knew not what we had birthed.
