pocket watch unmarked

Hi all,
Best wishes for 2022 !

I found the box with the old watches in it and this one is the first one I fished out of the box.

It is an open-face pocket watch with a beautiful silver-coloured watch case decorated with various animal figures.

I have a feeling this pocketwatch was made in the early 20th century but this is a pure guess.

watch does not work .. I think the spring with which you wind the watch is missing.

I would like to know if this pocketwatch has any collection value? and any idea where was it made and when?
Thanks for looking

 

Are there any markings other than those numbers anywhere on the inside of the case lid and/or the inner cover on the backs?? The whole watch is looking like it's had a pretty rough life.....

 

I would be surprised if it has more than scrap value, but I'm not an expert.

 

no i cant find any marks.

 

it was a nice watch....once!

 

That's a different (unusual) design on the case, with amphibians, reptiles, and marine life!

Check for a small button near the crown to see if it is pin-set. This button may be very small, but it will be raised up from the rest of the watch. A pin-set watch will also have a rotating crown at the top of the watch.[4]

• Pin-setting is more common in European watches than American, and it is not very common in higher end watches.

look for Method # 5

 

very interesting case for sure ...don't think I would scrap it .

 

Thank you for the link @komokwa
I've watched some YouTube movies where old pocket watches are repaired and i think i'm missing the hairspring under the balancewiel. I think im try to sell it as is.

 

i know. Its a nice thing. Perhaps a creative person can make something beautiful out of this or a lover of old pocket watches will give it a second chance. It has a beautiful porcelain watchdial and very nice pointers.

 

I like the creature design. The green indicates very low silver percentage. No value to watch people.
