watch, it was made in Chicago, Il. The case is
engraved and it looks like gold. It is as shiny
as my wedding ring. It is stamped on the badk of
the watch movement as "Superior". I am not sure
what that means. The face of the watch and the
watch movement is engraved to read "J.S.
Townsends". The address was 1554 Wabash Ave.
Chicago Il. It has a case with a cover and a
removeable cover over the workings on the back.
It doesn't say how many jewels.
