Hi. I'm looking for help identifying a watch I used to have (that was stolen 15 years ago). I'd like to get a similar replacement but trying to fill in the gaps as it were. It was made about 1893 (or so) was a side stem (stem by the numeral 3 position) lever wind Railroad (hunter) case gold watch. It had a figure on the cover I always thought to be a woman (without studying it too closely) but have come to realize it was a walking father time (in a long robe I guess) It was engraved TEJ on the cover - for my great uncle Thomas Elias James who got it as a gift from his coal miner subordinates as a thank you for being such a great boss(!). Obviously I don't expect to get that one back, but knowing what to ask/look for to get a similar replacement would be a huge help. I used to know the size (about 2 1/4" or so) Thanks.
