Banner Gold Pocket Watch

[ericob]

I have a gold pocket watch with the name "Banner" on the face. Inside is written: Keystone Victory 10K - Rolled Gold Plate. I cannot find anything out about this pocket watch. Anyone who can help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Eric

Thanks for posting and welcome. The info on the case is from the case maker, and that indicates to me your watch dates from after 1925.
However please read our "sticky" on watch ID which says that we really can't do much without a picture of the case, dial and hopefully the movement.
Update: Banner may have been an American firm who imported Swiss movements and cased them up in the USA.

I've posted pictures of the face and movement. Thanks for your help.

Can't read the three letters on the balance cock but it looks as if it's a late 1930s/early 1940s 15 jewel Swiss movement.

It says Switzerland on the bottom of the face. Is it worth anything?
Thanks, Eric

I can't quite read the 3 letter code on the balance cock - it looks like "HO something". But its probably "TOH" - which is one of Banner's import codes.

This forum doesn't do valuations, but the straight answer to its worth is 'not a lot'. b-)
