<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 240633, member: 2022"]OK - pocket watches are notorious for running perfectly for a few hours then stop - see if it keeps pretty good time for about 10 hours before re-winding. And 5 jewels visible but others underneath the gears. All this matters in price , Most of my Illinois has 15 to 17 jewels and in running condition yours can be worth between 75 - 125$ depending on the buyer. Most buyers will take it in to get cleaned and oiled, Me, I would keep it but that's cause I never met an old pocket watch I didn't like!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
