My grandfather (almost 99 and still living in Carbondale) use to work (repaired railroad watches) for Burr at his jewelry store back in the early part of the last century -- then purchased the business back in the 40s. My dad mentioned the watch and my grandfather said that based on the description, it'd be worth about $140.
