Hand Me Down Pocket Watch. Info?

So my mother in law gave me this old pocket watch. It doesn't seem to run now, but it's pretty cool. I just need a chain, a cain and a monocle then i'll be set.

Does anyone know anything about this watch? I tried looking up Oscar Machado but couldn't find anything.

 

 

 

i think Oscar Machado is just someone who had his name engraved on the watch, for the watch itself it looks the exact same as these and seems kinda valuable.

just two quick links i found

I have had and sold 2 of these in the past several years. In working order they will go for 600 - $1000. The name on back as mentioned was the original owner or whomever received it as a gift. Typically unless it was owned by someone famous, or historical significance - it actually lowers the collectible value.

 

In non-working order with the above in mind - if you were to sell it as is, you would be most likely at the $400 range. It is worth looking to see what the repairs needed to get it working as it may be something minor and can raise the value significantly if running.

I have no plans to sell it. Thanks for the info, I will get it repaired and cleaned up. Would be fun to have around.

nice gift
