and i found a small black leather jewellery box, opened it to find an immaculate Garrard gold watch  looked on back, its inscribed with "PRESENTED TO J.H. RABY BY HAWKER SIDDELEY AVIATION LIMITED FOR TWENTY YEARS SERVICE 1957 TO 1977". thats my grandfather  
god knows how it ended up under my bathroom sink, guess from moving about so much in the last couple of years. i believe its worth about £700 though.

I wouldn't sell it personally.
Probably ended there because he was trying to hide it for some reason?
