Thanks for letting me into the group.
Attached are photos of a watch I have been told was my Grandfather's that if true to have been his then it he would have got it between 1914 arrival in Canada and his 1947 death. We are targeting the actual date he got it to be around his first wedding year of 1917. I have not been good at decoding on-line so someone could help with that. Since it has been through watch repairs a few times, with the most recent this past month I'm uncertain of its current vintage. If it is an much older vintage then the ownership would turn to one gentlemen of the previous generation. Interestingly Peter Borud name is on the face. He was a prominent jeweler in Camrose Alberta, Canada. He, like my family, was of Norwegian decent and owned as many as three jewelry shops in 1914.
Please help with 1) dates related to as many components as possible, 2) uniqueness, 3) estimated value
Thanks for your assessments!!
