Thanks http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/7520_img_0225.jpg http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/7520_img_0228.jpg
The watch hallmarks mean the following, The anchor means it was made in Birmingham England, The lion means it is 925 parts of silver per 1000 (sterling silver), The letter Z means it was made in 1899. More info here: http://www.925-1000.com/british_marks.html
Thank you ozcopper for looking that up for me. Trying to decide if it's worth getting serviced. Don't know if it works It has a square shaft which I guess is to wind it, but don't have the key. Might get it looked at Thanks
Here's the lowdown on pocketwatches If they are working & are .925 , they sell for $150-$200 retail & hard to sell If not working generally they are worth more to fix than what they are worth
