Waltham Pocket Watch - Model 1887

By Mohawkdude420, 23 January, 2012
Description

This is the first pocket watch i've seen even, I did what research I could and this is what I came up with. My question is, To get it mechanically functional what sort of price range am I looking at? I was told from the guy I got it from that it was in working order until he moved the tiny cog in the center of the guts asoon as you open the back. Also, Do you have any idea the value of this particular pocket watch? I'm most interested in resale, It has no other value to me personally.



Addition details - The back cover has "America CO Waltham Mass Warrented Coin Silver" Stamped into the back, And in the rim what appears to be "blb", and what looks hand engraved Very tiny "9998" with a upside down "T" Figure.



Thanks for the help! :)
