This was passed down from my greatgrandfather. Can anyone give me any info/background? Would love to know the history.

   We need to know what the information is on the works. To see this you must open the back.
   
   Number of jewels...

   Illinois pocket watch 15 jewek, serial number 1962820 on case CWCC CO and says Cresant 25 years Also Chalmer - dial has numbers. Illinois is on the white face and is straight across the dial with no arch, just plain letters The outside, both sides back and cover, are etched and this watch appears to be gold or gold filled with a 3 hinges. I cannot find this serial number anywhere. I think it is a ladies watch and it is smaller in size as though it was worn around the neck or such, Maybe an 18 size? it is about 1/2 the size of a mans railroad watch
   thanks kaye

   Actually an 18 would be a large watch. ... Knowing that it is a small watch is what is needed.
   The "25 years" means it is a high quality gold FILLED case.
   
   15 Jewels means it is average works. 17 jewels or better is considered to be "good" quality.
   
   The works or "mechanical" part is where the serial number that matters is located. The one on the case does not provide any information.
   
   A photo of the works or the serial number on the works will help give us a date.
