Wanted up to update this with some new additions I've picked up over the last few weeks. I found a Model 1874-10, in pretty good shape but missing the second hand and, of course, the case.
This one is a Model 1907 0s. Again, no case, but everything is there (dust shield even) and it runs, so...
Do you mean information on the previous owner of the watch or the watch itself? For the previous owner info, I'd love to help out, if you could provide some more info about them. As for the watch this would be a great start. Pocket Watch Database: Information for American Pocket Watches
Too easy of a question. Any early watch from the 15 or 1600's, cause if I didn't' like it then I could sell it for several others :P haha. On a serious note, I'm content with my cases for the moment. For movements, my top ones would be one of the few Waltham repeaters out there, more hamilton...
Dang, somehow I missed this thread when it was new. I'd like to add mine in here. S/N 49402. The case is missing the crystal and the movement is missing parts. Maybe I'll have it repaired one day just cause of how few of these were made in the first place.

Welcome to the site Ray! I'm looking forward to some more info on these ones as well. I have an 1874 Riverside chronograph and the different models have confused me too, even with all the threads on here about them. The Riverside was the oddity (to me, at least) with the second timer on the back...
I was able to add another one to my collections of PS Bartletts this last week. This would be a model 1874-10. Unfortunately, it's like all of my 10s movements and there is no case for it.
The pillars on these were beautiful as well

I also found an obituary for his daughter, Jane and it gives his name as "Doc Cross" Rawley...

WOW that's an amazingly beautiful watch! Do you know much about your great-grandfather? like his profession or anything like that? That watch could not have been cheap back then.
