I thought this was a rather unusual group of watches to be stored together. Probably someone just tossed the old one in to get it out of the way.
1. Disney Timex Pooh
2. Kellogg's 1992 Olympic Team Sport watch
3. Elgin, must have been for a little girl or lady with a small wrist
4. Scoobie Hanna Barbera
I'm not sure where we got all the watches but I guess these join the others in the dusty archives.

You know I'd have to omment on these, lol. The Pooh is can still be bought new these have been around for several years and this model is popular, they never have taking them off the shelves. The Kellogg's will be in demand when our grandchildren find them in the "dusty archives" and the Scoobie Do, is from the mid 90's - early 00's. Thanks for showing these, The Elgin might be a goodie, check to see if it's a Jeweled mechinical watch.
Thanks for the loves Manikin & Kerry.
I know they aren't worth anything just had the camera sitting here and decided to post them. We seem to find watches all over the house. Some old an some new. The old ones are all stuff we ended up with when family passed on and the new ones are stuff the kids left here because they didn't want them anymore. I am just putting them all in the same box as I run across them. If I live another 100 years everything will be organized.
Thanks AR8 and thanks for the loves.
I took it out and gave it a look. Doesn't say anything about jewels. Back stamp is 10KRGP. BEZEL over stainless steel. There is a circle with what appears to be ld or [d inside it. If you turn it 180 degrees it is Pl. There is also writing inside the little buckle Top to bottom it says:
