I´ve been offered to by these books. For those who knows, are these useful books for identification and so on. Are they hard to find, do you think I should take the opportunity? do not know that mutch about watch books. Regards! Bernhard

All are very good reference materials, providing reproductions of many old ads and catalog pages. The watch company volumes include useful serial number lists. It looks like there are duplicate copies of a few in the photo, but maybe you can pass the extras on to other members.

The 1978 Price Indicator is also a nice reference as it has hundreds of black and white photos of American pocketwatch movements, ranging from common to very rare. Size, model, grade, serial numbers, and a value for the movement are given with each photo.
There is also a 1979 and 1980 version of the Price Indicator, and these have even more photos than the 1978 issue. The prices are dated, but it is still a great reference to have on hand for the photos and I use them often.
