Hello,
My name is Robert.
I have a bit of a situation regarding this pocket watch.
The thing is I know little or no information about it.
What I do know is that it is signed:
(N1810 Louis RABY Hger de l'Empereur n°5 Bvard des Italiens Paris)
Also along with number: 10019
engraved on the casing.
I was hoping that their might be a specialist out there somewere who could inform me a bit more about this watches maker and origin.
Maybe even a good place to put it up for auction.
And potentialy what it could sell for.
Kind regards,
Robert
I just don't know, this one and the other you have posted, the movements just don't seem to look right to me, like they've been installed in old cases, I might be totally off base, but something about them makes me think a gernic made movement. Again I don't know but they look wrong to me.
Hello fellas,
thanks four your reply's.
Yes it's a tricky one allright.
Im considering sending them away to a watch specialist to examine them thouroughly in order to find out a bit more about those movements.
You very well could be right.
They could have low grade cheap movements in a half decent case.
The German one though has the following:
Anchor escapement
Double plate
15 rubies
Compensating balance spring
Bregeut spiral
Even though I have little experience in the antique popcket watch business.
One could determine that this type movement is somewhat decent and maybe authentic.
As for the other "LOUIS RABY" pocket watch I am still to find out more about what kind of movement it has.
Kind regards
Robert
Hello fellas,
thanks for the suggestion.
Yes I allready tried the website you mentioned but to no avail unfortunatly.
Didn't even get one reply :/
In anycase I found a online website that evaluates your antique pocket watches and prices them for free so I am hoping I will have some success with them.
Kind regards
