Dorothy L. Sayers's seventh Lord Peter Wimsey novel, set among the artists of Galloway, opens with the painter Sandy Campbell found dead below a cliff and six fellow painters who might have wanted him there. The inventory of his pockets is part of the puzzle. (Wikipedia)
Watches
- Ingersoll watch
- The search of Campbell's clothes turns up some dirt and, in the breast pocket, only an Ingersoll watch, a pocket comb and a half-used book, the cheap American watch being all the dead man carried to tell the time. The text names the maker only.
