[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 442070, member: 84"]I bought this antique pocket watch - along with another (Kendal & Dent) - at an estate sale at a beautiful house in Coral Gables today. It has a person's name under title: Edward ? - can anyone read the last name? And I thought it said World's Fair 1893 around the 6:00 second hand - but when I googles that all I found were Hamilton world's fair pocket watch. Is that what it says & was this a real 1893 world's fair watch? I ask if it's real because I can wind it (and it works) but I can't lift the stem to turn hands or open case? (Which is frustrating because I thought there was a chance it could be a gold case from the look of the back) Thanks for any info on this watch - at only $50 I didn't spend a lot; but I was excited thinking it was real & rare - not finding it googling + not being able to raise stem to adjust, etc.. has me a little worried it might be a copy!
