It is a key wind. It has the lever for lever
setting, but doesn't look like it has the setting
gears installed. Therefore, it might be key set,
but there are no hands currently to test that.
It's private label on the movement- engraved "R.

Catalogue of American Pocket Watches). I just
received my great grandfather's Rockford Watch.
It a model 1, 18 size, gilt, key wind and key set,
serial number 141076. The second 1 is only half
stamped into the plate. I am 99.99% sure it is a
1 and not a 7. This is a private label watch, "O.
S. Heckrotte, Shippensburg, PA" The family lived
in Shippensburg at that time, about 1880.
Original Open Face silver coin case by Dueber. I
suspect it is 11 jewels, as it is jeweled with
screwed settings on the top plate but has a plain
regulator. Very best wishes! donhok
