Antique Questions Forum / Looking for pocket watch experts!
« on: November 11, 2011, 06:40:11 pm »
Hello all, I am looking for some help with a few antique pocket watches I've received from a family member recently. What I am looking for is as much information as possible, and an idea of value. Thanks!
I've got three watches that I've identified as antique and possibly pretty valuable, and one that I can't find too much information on.
The first is an Elgin with a silver case. This is as much information as I have been able to find, as I can't get the back of the case off to see what is inside. It is the largest of the four, and is quite heavy. I would say at least 10oz. It also works perfectly when wound up. Pictures below.
The second is an American Waltham Riverside model with 19 jewels, from 1913 as far as I can tell. It does not specify what metal, or quality of metal. It does look gold though. This one winds but does not seem to work. Pictures below.
The third is another American Waltham. this one is 14k double plated, 15 jewel from 1894. Cannot find model, winds but does not work. Pictures below.
The final is a Marcel Swiss watch, 6 jewels. I can't find much about this one, not even sure if it is as old as it looks. Pictures below.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
