American Waltham , U.S.A. TRAVELER is stamped on a bracket holding the gears in place on the inside back of the watch. Beside that, is another bracket where the serial number is stamped ( 16549870 ). On the outside rim , where the male threds are for the back cover, the numbers (0092) are stamped.
Inside the back cover is stamped, ( FORTUNE ). Shaped in a half moon design, over , what looks like a basketball with wings and under that, in the shape of the bottom of the half moon is stamped , ( A.W.C.CO.). Then under that, printed in a strait line , is stamped (GOLD FILLED). Then under that, in the shape of a " V " , the numbers ( 1040092 )are stamped.
The watch is "OPEN FACED"with a seconds dial on the bottom, in the 6 O'Clock position. The numbers are in both ROMAN NUMERALS and regular numbers. ( I,II,III,IIII,V,VII,VIII,IX,X,XI,AND XII. Under each roman numeral is printed 13,14,15,16,20,21,22,23,and 24 under the XII.The numbers 17,18,and 19 are blocked by the seconds timer.Also , part of the V and VII have a small part of the bottom blocked as well.The VI is blocked , completely. The winding knob is in the 12 o'clock position.Works great and I carry it with me every day. There's no way of taking the chain off, so I think it was a part of the watch when it was made. It's gold as well. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
This is an old fireplace and mantle that we found in an old garage. it has beautiful craftwork. The only markings on it say Pat July 19 1892. The Monarch 1150 24
It's beautiful and we don't know if we should keep it or get rid of it.....
40-50 years ago,It was bought from Thomlinsons's Jewelery Store in Winnfield,Louisiana at the time, other than that everything else is pretty much unknown, I recieved this after Grandfather passed away. I'm just interested in the worth of this item for insurance purposes. thanks.
