Hi  Threr is a logo and a number on the plates, you can check th logo via Mikrolisk to find the maker and pocketwatchdatabase.com with the serial number. If you are lucky it will give you all you require if not we shall have to have a look round. can you post a clear picture of both the logo and the number thanks        cheers

Yes please, a better photo of the embossed logo. Or at least a reading of the letters. I couldn't read the beginning but it looks as if the last letters are: M A L. I didn't see anything in BestFit® with a large X in the center.

I'd say most likely 1870s to almost 1890s.  I have a Swiss key-wind/set dating to 1867.  I have lever-sets as early as 1887.  Most pin-set watches evolved after key-sets, but levers came after the pin-sets and gained popularity.  Considering a degree of overlap, that's how I arrived at my rough guess.

Search term (my best guess) Decimal.

As to "How much is it worth?" - the answer as always, whatever anybody will pay for it.

Its not in great condition, the hands don't match for starters, but with a little work, it could look quite nice.


Look on ebay for similar items and you will get a rough indication of what people *might* pay.

Further to that, mark "completed listings" box in advanced search, and you will know how much people had actually paid.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away.

    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
