Pocket Watch of James Maybrick

Item

Title
Pocket Watch of James Maybrick
Description
Photograph of a pocketwatch allegedly belonging to Jack the Ripper suspect James Maybrick, with the initials of the five canonical victims, his name, and the phrase "I am Jack" carved into its side. Though testing revealed that the engravings are old, there is no conclusive evidence that the pocket watch even belonged to Maybrick, as it was initially found in a pawn shop.
