The end grain close up and in focus would help. Value is a moot point, it is illegal to sell it in many places.
The design looks like early 19th. C. American in shape, I suspect it is coin silver with the pseudo marks imitating British marks to reassure the...
I'd call it a purse watch.
I endorse PaulBD's post about European prices and markets. A bid sadly, as I have quite a number of decent clocks that I thought could be my...
If you could buy a roll film for 25c. including postage, and get it developed for one thin dime, it clearly dates from some other universe with...
There is just one finger tight nut to unscrew. The only further information will be on the clock back plate. Case maker's identities are usually...
The silk suspension confirms my estimate of age, but all you need to know is under the bell, so remove the bell by undoing the centre nut. The...
The i might be the last letter of 'Marti'. Dialls can get rubbed if the name was added after firing. If you remove the bell you should be able to...

You should be able to push out the dent in the ladle, there are special silversmith tools but I usually improvise something, I usually use an old...
It will be principally in English with a few legal Latin terms thrown in, as was customary. I agree with davey that it has minimal cash value so...
I have seen similar filigree items being made in Malta.
A moderately dextrous person can reinstall the hands, the minute hand goes on the square in the center, push fit, make sure it agrees with the...
As the catch is marked I'd expect the strap to be gold. Weigh the whole thing and deduct about 4 grams for the movement to get a rough value....
It should feel unexpectedly heavy, platinum is denser than pure gold. If you weigh it agains a similar sized silver ring it should weigh twice as...
Separate names with a comma.
