Like most stories start...I was going through my Grandmas jewelry and found an old pocketwatch. After some research using the serial number on the watch movement part...9461828...I have determined the date it is from. 1901.

Everything seems to be there except the glass cover (the band is still there, no glass) and the "knob" that you press. There are a few "corroded" spots near the hinges that I think are fixable. I have pictures.

Is there any other info that anyone else knows? Like what the design is? I cannot find an example of the design anywhere, but maybe looking in the wrong places. It also says "EP" on the front...initials?

Thanks!
