I took the watch that I found on Sunday to the jewelry store to have it tested because there were NO marks that I could find. They did whatever it is they do and came back to tell me it tested right for 14K. She wanted to know if I was interested in selling it, but she'd have to open it to take out any watch works or dirt that was in it before weighing it, so I told her go ahead, because I had no plan to restore it as a watch. Upon opening it, the works fell out all rusted and dirt also, since there was no crystal to protect it. Inside the bottom we saw the word CAPITAL in a half circle above the 14K. It seems to be from the 20's or 30's by it's design and style. It weighed 3 grams and she offered me $34 for it. HMMM, Nope, I decided to keep it for awhile. Maybe I'll find some nice friends (rings, chains, charms) for it now that the 'ice' is broken. So that's a happy ending to the story that started on Sunday. Thanks for all your good luck wishes. It worked. : )
Congrats on the find!
Good thinking on keeping it, it has more worth to you than melt value ever will have on it! HH
