Watches
- Timex watch
- Kaye rubs the old black Timex he has had since childhood, its square face once too large for his wrist, as he describes the first time his mother was taken to the hospital when he was seven and he got lost on a Philadelphia bus looking for her. The maker is named; the model is not.
