This watch was my Grandmothers.

The history is unknown, however she was born in 1901 and married in 1920.  The watch has her Maiden initials on the back, so was probably given to her in 1917/19.

There is no name on the dial.





The case is made of Sterling Silver and engraved.




It has a quality 17 jewel swiss movement.




The movement is signed, but I know nothing of this watchmaker.

Can you see a "WD" stamped on it Larry?  It would be nice if you could.
