Hello,
I recently inherited some pocket watches. One of them have my great great grandfathers initials on its back and is probably from the late 1800s. The other one looks to be from the same time period. It would be greatly appreciated if someone would help me identifying the watches, where they were made and approximately what year they are form. I removed the dial from both to see if I could find any serial number.s
Here are pictures of my great great grandfathers watch (sorry if the pictures are to big):
