This is an old photo of my wife's father and sister when he was a toddler. It is in a copper (I think) frame of metal with curved glass over the picture. It is approximately 20 inches tall, 14 wide, and one inch deep a the center.
This watch works great and I carry it with me every day.Printed on the inside of the back covering is " FORTUNE A.W.C.Co. GOLD FILLED 1040092 ".There is also an emblem that looks like a basketball with wings.
On the back of the watch , beside the serial number, are the words AMERICAN WALTHAM,U.S.A. TRAVELER. The front face has roman numerals as well as regular numbers. There is also a seconds timer.The winding dial is @ 12 o'clock and the seconds timer is @ 6 o'clock.The chain is gold but I'm not sure if it's original. The serial number sugests that it was made in 1908,...(Model:1899)...(Material:U)...(Size:16)...(Plate:3/4)...(Style:OF)...(Comment:74)...(Grade:Traveler)...(Jewels:7)...(Bal:Breguet Spring). This is the information that I received from " NAWCC Information Storage". Please , some one help me. Thank you for your consideration.
Thank You: Richard...
I CANNOT FIND THESE PLATES AT ANY ANTIQUE OR AUCTION SITES. THEY HAVE TWO ROSES AT THE TOP WITH SCALLOPED EDGES AND LOOKS LIKE A GOLD TRIM. ALSO WITH SOME BRONZE COLOR ON THE OUTSIDE AND CREAMY COLORED INSIDE.
THEY ARE VERY OLD AND DELICATE. 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" PLEASE SEE PICTURES. i AM JUST INTERSTED IN WHAT THEY ARE AND THE VALUE FOR NOW.
I think this item is a movie projector though im not one hundred percent sure. It was found in an old movie theatre (Victor Theatre Cincinnati Ohio)around a bunch of old movie reels. The metal patch on the side of the machine has this writing "The Peerless Reflector ARC Lamp made by The J.E. Msauley NFC Co. Chicago Patents Pending No. 1498"
