Hi,I have a pocket watch I just aquired,I am so not a collector that i don’t even know what country it is from!!! It is a key wound pocket watch,it is rather small compared to ones i know of,it has roman num for the face numbers,it kinda looks like it has like a snowflake inner shape(under the glass) with gold flakes around thr roman nums,it is open face,it opens on top,it is silver,ithas 2 holes to wind up,it also has little flowery disigns around the 2 holes.and when i open the back to see the mech of it the numbers are as follows6600234
But on the outer closing case of the watch the numbers are diff, and as follows are 512614.
I went to a jeweler today to sel a ring i had and asked him about it but he was not a watch men,lol,he said to say that when he looked at it under his microscope,it was a smile face type emblem with a crown of sum sort on top!? I wish i could just find out where it was made so i could start to resesrch this,could u help me with info i have given?? TY so very much cathy from NH

Thanks for the work you have put into this site. I have a Waltham that my father had and with your help I have found out that for a hundred year old watch it has way more history then I had hoped for. Thanks
