Any info?

Hi- I bought this pocket watch in Prague several years ago and was wondering if anyone had any info on it? The body is sterling silver and the I’ve been told the movement is “European”?

Non precious metal cases

So, I scrap metal for a living and I've collected up a handful of non functioning cases, some stamped pure nickel, some brass, some gold plated something. Think there's an aluminum one floating around.

Obviously these are non functioning watches. I've seen the sentiment many times of people being upset when these things, precious metal or otherwise, get scrapped down.

Problem we run into is what else am I supposed to do with them? If I just throw a lot of 5 cases and non functioning watches onto ebay for 15-20 bucks is that reasonable? As long as it's over the respective scrap values by even an inch I'm happy it just seems there's a lot of "I hate seeing these broken down or scrapped" and very little of "I'll purchase that off you to keep that from happening."

Looking for any information

Looking for any information on these 3 pocket watches. They have been in a drawer for the past 20 years, possibly from in South America. Any information and background would be great. Thanks
