I have a pocket watch Im looking to sell and Im hoping one or more of our members can help direct me to a site or Forum That would be appropriate.
I have an Illlinoise Springfield pocket watch. From what I have been able to look up on line and from a book from the Library, it was made in/around 1881, its probably a model 2. From the description in the book,its referred as a transitional piece because they used model 1 pieces in it to use them up. It has a key winding lug in it although its Stem wound. Its a Hunter, I have seen references to "Double Hunter" all though Im not sure if there is a difference. It has a Dueber solid 14k case. It has "Robert Seivers 1886 engraved on the inner lid inside the back Lid of the case. It worked perfectly when I bought it years ago but now runs sporadically.
What Im lookiing to do is save it from being scrapped. I can destroy it and send the case to the refiner for the gold content myself but I hate to do that to a nice watch.
I dont particularly want to use Ebay but would rather find a forum or watch site I can put it on and sell it to someone that would save it.
I will see if I can upload some pictures from my phone. My main computer died and Im having to get another up and customized.
