Junior pocket watch

[tomsneck]

Wifey got this watch in a bag of watches lol. She is wondering who made it and I’m curious as to how old it might be. Any thoughts? Couldn’t find a match online but I’m wiped out from working and don’t have the energy tonight. Thanks for the look

It looks like it could possibly be an Ingersoll Junior, maybe 1920's-1940's.. Have you tried popping off the back cover to see if there is more info inside?

I think Icewing is onto something. If your pop the back cover off and find the serial # on the movement, input in the Pocket Watch Database website at https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/guide/companies/ingersoll-watch-co and hopefully learn more about the watch. If that doesn't work, perhaps Ingersoll manufactured the watch for a retailer(?), and thus agreed not to print the word Ingersoll above Junior on the dial. Despite that, comparing the one you found with the photo of an Ingersoll Junior (attached), there are a lot of similarities. These include: 1) the shape of the winder; 2) the 2 rings on the stem; 3) the hours are in script; 4) the seconds appear to be red numerals. Ingersoll Watch Company was in business from 1892-1922.
