Steam Train Pocket
Marcel train watch value?
I have a Marcel Watch Corp swiss made pocket watch. On the inside it says marcel watch corp 22, 17 seventeen jewels shock resistant. On the outside face it has a locomotive steam train and says marcel in cursive right above it. It has the normal 1-12 hours then outside of that it has 1-60 in smaller numbers. On the back is an engraved locomotive going on a railroad. Just looking for any potential value
Marcel watches were founded by Marcel Drucker in NJ in the fifties, originally using Swiss movements but now using Asian parts I believe. Nothing fake about the watches but they are not sought after by collectors. It sounds a novel timepiece, though, trading in on a US tradition of watches being used on the railways having a reputation for accuracy. It is a mechanical timepiece, with the 17 artificial jewels being used to reduce wear and tear, and shock resistance being fairly standard in mid-range watches. I suspect it dates from the 60s and doubt if it is worth more than a few dollars.
