What do I have here?
Hello friends!
I found this pocket watch while going through my Dad’s belongings after he passed away.
I have no idea where it came from.
The key adjusts the time, but either the movement is frozen or the post the key plugs into is stripped (or both).
The engraved text reads “Hub Bünnagel Bedburg”.
The engraved numbers are both “57712”
The text on the regulator says “Früh” and “Spät”.
The case is most likely not silver because I don’t see any markings that would indicate that, also it’s not tarnished at all.
My guess is that this watch belonged to one of my grandfathers (maybe great grandfather?) but I honestly have no idea.
The engraved horse on the case would make me lean towards my Dad’s father who was from Kentucky. On the other hand, the Canadian 5 cent piece on the chain makes me think it could have been my Mom’s father who was Canadian.
Y’all have any idea?
