LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 49

(4) THE SERIAL NUMBER OR, IF NONE, ANY OTHER
DISTINGUISHING NUMBER OR IDENTIFICATION MARK ON THE CASE
AND ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE WATCH.

(B) RECORD.

THE SELLER SHALL KEEP THE RECORD ON FILE FOR AT
LEAST THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE SALE OF THE WATCH.
THE FILE SHALL BE OPEN FOR INSPECTION DURING ALL BUSINESS
HOURS BY THE STATE'S ATTORNEY OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE
SELLER ENGAGES IN BUSINESS,

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the proviso
clause in Art. 27, §224(c)(1).

In subsection (b) of this section, the
reference to the "representative" of a State's
attorney is deleted as unnecessary.

The Commission notes that there are no
standards relating to any time limit within
which a watch may be returned and still
qualify under this section for exemption.
Also, there is no requirement that the seller
show to a subsequent purchaser any record of
prior sale or the date of return of a
previously sold watch. The General Assembly
may wish to consider correcting these probably
unintended omissions.

14-703. TAG REQUIRED ON SECONDHAND WATCH.

ANY PERSON, HIS AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE WHO SELLS OR
POSSESSES WITH INTENT TO SELL A SECONDHAND WATCH SHALL
AFFIX AND KEEP AFFIXED TO IT A TAG WITH THE WORD
"SECONDHAND" LEGIBLY WRITTEN ON IT IN THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
the first sentence of Art. 27, §225.

The only changes are in style.

14-704. INVOICE; RECORD.

(A) INVOICE REQUIRED FOR SALE OF SECONDHAND WATCH.

ANY PERSON, HIS AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE WHO SELLS OR
POSSESSES WITH INTENT TO SELL A SECONDHAND WATCH SHALL
DELIVER TO THE BUYER A WRITTEN INVOICE WHICH SETS FORTH:
