seeking date & information on watch

[terry hall]

Mary,

Welcome,

We need a little more to go on......

If you can open the watch, and give the info from the 'works' of the watch, we can help you more.

What you have furnished is the case information.

The C.W.C stands for Crescent Watch Case Company.
It is not 'really' possible to cross reference the case number, but the number from the movement can be readily identified.

If you can take a picture of the movement, all the better. It can be uploaded to this board by clicking the paperclip when you are in the reply screen.

Mary, the number that the jeweler gave you is the serial number for the watch case, The serial numbers that you are looking for and that will give you more information are on the actual movement of the watch, C.W.C. & Co. is the case mfg., if you could give us the serial number we can better help you,all you have to do is unscrew the back and it will be there,also any other markings that are on the movement.Good Luck!!

Mary:

It would be helpful if you could post a picture of the movement, the clearer and sharper, the better. We may be able to identify it by the shape of the plates. In trying to open the watch, you might find the information in "How To Open A Pocket Watch Case" (http://www.knology.net/~ksinger/opencase.txt) useful.

A digital camera would be very helpful. For an open-face, screw back & bezel watch you can get good results by placing the movement on a flatbed scanner. A hunting-case movement, or an open-face movement in a hinged case would have to be removed from the case for this to work. Otherwise, its back to the camera.

Larry Jones has written up a useful article on Image Posting (http://www.larjones.com/data/imagehelp.html), which may be helpful.

Or, when you click on the Reply button, at the lower right-hand corner of the bottom post in a thread, the Reply To: box that opens has a toolbar at its top. The right-hand icon on the toolbar is a paperclip. Clicking upon the paperclip icon will open a box that allows you to select a picture file to attach to your post. Use the Browse button to navigate to the location in which the picture file resides on your disk drive and select it. Since this only permits one picture per reply, you can reply once for each picture.

If you have a problem posting the picture(s), you can attach it (them) to an e-mail to me (you can get my email address by clicking on my name in the upper left-hand corner of this post and viewing my Public Profile) and I'll post it (them) for you.

Its also helpful if you can post all the markings that are on the movement (the "works") in case they can't be seen in the picture(s).

Good luck,
Kent
