Subject: RE: BS: Old Pocket Watches
Thanks, Dan!
Seems what I have is an American Waltham Watch Company item from 1890.
Sidewinder type, Arabic numerals, swing-out movement, open face case, serial # 4710XXX.
Condition: all hands are fine shape but crystal is badly cracked. A part of face is damaged, an area about the size of a match head at the very margin. When wound up, it runs so main spring must be good. Case looks like peuter so nuttin' fancy.
