This watch was a family one given to Dixie on her birthday. It is believed to have appeared in the family between 1832 and 1900. It is worn as a necklace with only a small glimpse of it in the picture. The numbers are in a light purple with pearls surrounding the face and covering the back. The only information is 14K and Swiss which are engraved on the inside of the two separate backs.
You need to send detailed pics of all sides to Mike Clark an antique Swiss watch expert who sells amd repairs 19th century watches. He runs an ad in every Civil War News issue. I bought a nice original from him.

ReplyDeletewould only have the name inside the workings. He says it's pre-1870. It ran slow before he cleaned it, but runs like a charm now.:)
