Ball Pocket Watch Help

[wbarker]

I know very little about PW's and this one has been passed down to me from from Grandfather who in the 1920's was in railroad business selling coal to the Union Pacific Railroad.

Can anyone help me identify this PW. It is not running so any advice on who can repair vintage Ball PW's would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill




The engraved intitials are my Grandfather's

Wow this one is a beautiful PW with a history of it's own. Is that a ding on the dial? Hope you are able to repair and get it working.

[wbarker]

Yes, there is a ding right where the lever under the front crystal is located. I believe the lever is used when setting the time. I hope the knowledgebable Ball forum members have some info on the PW. I am interested in how old it may be and the likely movement, etc.
