- For example, 1856-1857 Waltham pocket watches will have a serial number between 4000 and 6000. A 1957 Waltham watch will have a serial number of 35,000,000 or greater, according to oldwatch.com. Record the serial number from the movement.

The watch on the left above:

The movement has been adjusted. 2. The serial number (3097487) allows you to date this watch. This pocket watch was made in 1886. You can find this information on the American Waltham page. |
Case Information.
| 3. On the inside of the cover we find on this watch, the logo AWco and K18. This tells us the case was made by the American Waltham Co. and it is made of 18 carat solid gold. The serial number on the CASE DOES NOT GIVE ANY MORE INFORMATION. |
