antique gold Hamgden Dueber womans locket/watch

Interesting watch, I believe you will find that it's HamPden Dueber though. (P not G). Double check as fakes of watches do exist and they typically get around some of the laws by 'misspelling' the name. This company mass produced watches as well as better versions such as 'railroad' watches (highly accurate!). They did use 14 carrot gold watch cases. Inside the back case should be a serial number. You can match it at this site to get the age: http://www.pocketwatchsite.com/hampdenserials.html or here http://www.pocketwatchrepair.com/histories/hampden.html (gives some history too!) Finally this site has an interesting story about identifying the original owner of the watch. You might be able to find the records some where as to who bought the watch at first, but it will take some digging. At least you know that they kept that kind of record before they closed! http://collecting-jewelry-metalware.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_dueberhampden_watch_company Running versions of this type of watch sell for about $200. If it needs repairs, you are probably looking at less than half that though. Check to see how much it would cost to get it repaired. It would sell better then so it might be worth your while to get it fixed first! I just responded to another pocket watch so you might want to peruse the answer I gave there for some ideas of how to display it, if that is of interest to you.
