I’ll give the first one an 8.5/10. And the second one will get a 7/10 only because the flow wasn’t as consistent as the first verse IMO. Still dope nonetheless.

A good place to start would be a search of “completed auctions” on eBay. You do this by going to “search”, click on “advanced search” then put in your watch brand and descriptive words, scroll down and check “completed items,” and the result will be what similar items have actually sold for in recent weeks. (You do have to have an eBay account to use this Advance Search feature.) Good luck!

If the face of the watch also says Elgin than you may look up the 131 number on the elgin database and see what other Elgin watches have sold for that are similar to that one. Google “elgin watch database”

my next door neighbor has a website called historicalpocketwatches dot com and buys,sells, and repairs these. That website might offer you a free evaluation…Just an idea…or second opinion You might also want to check on ebay for the approximate price. Be sure to note condition.

It sounds like the ones sold at Things Remembered. They go for around $75.

Lessee…that pound of coffe I could get for a $1.49 is now $3.49 & the container has shrunken to 10.5 ounces. Too early to do the math but it’s like that in everything I buy.

You can go to a jeweler. some buy the gold off of you, but some don’t. Look into it.

Andi Pandi had a baby girl 12/8/10! August 3, 2011 at 6:39 am

depends on the condition but i would check out eBay and try to find something similar and see what that is going for. that is what i did when my mother gave me a Chanel purse (which she knew i would never use).

never sell to pawn shop unless you know how to calculate the value of gold per days gold.check out the watch and clock collectors organization. they have shows all around the country and possibly near you at some time. alsocleves and lonneman in bellevue kentucky are well known, very knowledgeable and honest. they have a web site. and you can contact them. they can possibly give you the name of a reputable person in your area.another hint for your selling price. the value of the pocket watch is more in antique value than in gold weight cause the movements(the insides) are very heavy . however, if the watch is not desirable as an antique and the only value seems to be for the gold take it all apart and have the gold weighed by several jewelers to find out the penny weight of it. this is how gold is purchased for scrap which is what it would be considered. to determine how much you should get, know the gold market for that day and take it to several places to get quote before selling. at today’s gold…. scrap is around 38 dollars a dwt (penny weight) but you will never get that from anyone buying. always keep in mind whoever you are selling to, you must leave them room to make money.you might also try to contact Longines. they actually have museums. your piece may even be that good.there are so many things that determine value of pocket watches.do more research, it will drive you crazy, but may be interesting to you.may be that your watch could be something you would pass down and not sell.no matter what you decide the key for anything is to always trust who you are dealing with.

That is very good. It is like a page or two from a book. I like your descriptions and vocabulary, are you a professional writer? That poem by Robert Frost is my favorite poem for years. It is a classic If you ever publish a book let me know. It has a feel of To Kill A Mocking Bird. I don’t know why. Maybe because that story is about childhood a bit too. I do not think you have to change anything. Continue with it.

I think you don’t know the difference between “there”, “their” and “they’re” or “goal” and “gold”.

Too late.Way too late.

Anselm August 5, 2011 at 6:38 pm

according to http://www.kenora.net/watches/ it sells for several hundred canadian dollars.

baudkarma August 6, 2011 at 7:01 am

$355.18Actually that’s in 2007 dollars, so probably a little more now. Here’s a site that calculates how inflation affects prices from 1800 to 2007.http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

if you know the make… which you should be able to find either on the face of hte watch, or, inside the workings… do a search on google.com…. there are many, many sites that offer this kind of info.. there is a serial number and model number on the inside of all old pocket watches… you’ll need that info as well. I know the Elgin site has all kinds of info that will assist you in finding the info you need if it’s an Elgin watch. If it’s not.. just use the site based on the name on the watch
