I picked this beautiful watch up today and really don't know anything about it except that it is a ladies pocket watch that is 14k. It is different from the ones I usually see. There is a name inscribed when the back is opened up " Katie Cain ". If any pocket watch guys out there can help me date this piece and maybe give more info on it, quality and such, that would be much appreciated. Thank you
