hi there, i'm sure you get a lot of these requests. I've googled everything i could find, and no luck, so i thought maybe you gentlemen could halp me out.

I have a pocket watch here that has these identifying specs, but have had no luck finding anything about the watch:

on the case it has:
-a stamped lion (signifying silver content in old england)
-a stamped anchor (Birmingham UK essayer's
stamp)
-a stamped, italicized lower-case "b" (date of 1901/2?)

on the movement it has:

-the name "C Stone & Co"
-the word/name "Clifton"
-the number "267140"

on the winding key it has:

-the name "H. Samuel Ltd."
-the location "Manchester"
-the location "103 Market St."

Like i said, I goggled the above information but so far no luck. Any help would be appreciated. -Cameron

C. Stone & Co. would be a jeweler. It will take a picture to guess who actually made the watch.

Samuel are a large jewelry chain store still in business today in the UK.
