morning to all of you,
answers requested on anything anyone knows about pocket watches. Market is saturated with them, yet every now and then a prize one comes thru. I have tried to take clear pictures, please let me know your thoughts,,,,
-
Some people say that the most important parts of a watch are the face and mechanism - neither of which we can see ;D
Also the mark on the case please
-
always learning, erased the rest when loading. thanks
-
Made between 1894 and 1895.
I'm assuming the case is plated ? Can't see the marks on the case.
-
thanks for the response--the front case says dueber 14K special 2598646
inside has the number 1199641
has marking that looks like a snake on a pole
appreciate the dating of it
-
Yes, the serial number 1199641 dates it to 1894-95.
There should be an anchor mark for Dueber - raised or engraved ?
Need an image of this to help determine if gold filled / plated or gold - sounds like the former
Image of case outside would be nice too !
-
I am so glad you had me look further.
Yes, an anchor with a snake, it is not raised so embedded. I have a further note to include I found ever so slightly engraved, could not get a picture its so slightly done, of 1763 and more numbers...26692 is all I can make out
as these are so very slight I doubt I can get a clear picture--at least you made me find out more so thanks

Even gold plated / filled are making a few hundred dollars on Ebay, depending on condition.
