wow thanks so much dave and your not going to believe this i cant its from 1891 and i wound it and its running amazing!
oops i was wrong the site you sent me says made between 1894 -1899
i just cant believe its running
This is one of the first times ive seen one with the paper still in the back, pretty neat....
i know as soon as i find my magnifying glass ill be able to read it !
do you know what the value on the watch would be ? i have her husbands watch too just have to remember where i hid it
so upset!! almost 120 years old , keeps great time & guess who just put her thumb through the crystal ?
no glass
Yikes! Hope you didn't cut yourself. Don't stress though, a replacement glass can be put in and it will be like new again!
thanks it was the most paper thin glass i have ever seen
ill be going to the jeweler some time in feb
Nice keepsake!
