|    Info wanted: Borel & Courvoisier Neuchat    |
|    11 May 04 19:56:16    |
      From: george@cruisemaster.com              My wife has inherited a pocketwatch and I am wondering if someone can tell       me anything about it. Here is the info:              Borel & Courvoisier Neuchatel       inside the face cover it says G&K and then NY 17962 There is a square mark       of some kind              This info is repeated inside the first back cover. There is also hand       engraved "MA 362" and the number 300537.              Inside the third cover is again 17962 over an oval mark. The numbers appear       to have been originally red.              On the works it is written "Borel & Courvoisier N56853" "Neuchatel" and       there is a trade mark that is B C vertically on a shield.              The watch appears to be silver and is not very ornate with a plain design on       the face cover. There is the number "4" embossed in the winding stem.              The watch is in it's original box which appears to be leather lined in a       blue material.              The face is white with Roman Numerals and there is a face for counting       seconds in the 6 o'clock position.              General condition is good. The face, hands and second hand are all there and       the crystal is intact and clear. It does run but I don't know how to wind it       and I am not going to play with it until I understand how it works better.              Any information you might have about this watch or where I might get it       examined, cleaned, serviced and appraised would be greatly appreciated.              Thanks for any help...              George in PA       george@cruisemaster.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
