Number of this series of pocket watches made was 2000 This kind of watch is referred to as a "depression pocket watch". The movement was in a solid gold hunting case when it was new. During the depression people would sell their watches to buy food etc. Jewelers didn't want the movements because they couldn't sell them. So they came up with a inexpensive case that converted the watch to a open face. The owner still had his watch, just not as fancy.
