Hi all,

Here's a real fixer-upper, dug fresh from my garden!

On the works it says:

Knickerbocker Watch Co.
St. Imer, Switzerland
New York U.S.A.
7 Seven Jewels

Anyone know how old it might be? Does this hold any value for anyone (meaning, is there any part worth saving)? I feel bad throwing it away (or back in the garden)...

Sorry, but this one is SWISS and junk--give to some budding watchmaker!:D

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the clarification. Wasn't sure since it had both Switzerland and New York on the works, so I guess I picked the wrong 'lane'. :)

It was probably a very nice watch....before burial, that is.
