Note: my great grandfather's pocket watch has a date of
Feb 19 1884 .I have been wanting to get it fixed

myself by twisting it...it also says 21 jewels in
the gold color part of it..anyway I can find out
more about it please. I would love to get it fixed
but afraid I can't
Curator Response: 1884 is possibly the patent date from the case. Also, please double-check you are using the serial number from the movement for lookups.
