Eric UnseltOpinions on this 18-size Central Watch Case
Is this case from back in the day, or is it a newer reproduction? The wire "chain" and plastic toy train is clearly not antique.

Eric UnseltI've searched for the name of Central Case Co, but have not found anything. The pendant behaves as one would expect.
I suspect it's a new reproduction all around. Opinions?

David AbbeThe crystal type combined with quality of workmanship suggests about halfway "back in the day", sometime around 1900-1925.

Jim BielefeldtI also took a look for the Central Case Co, and Central Watch Case Co. From what I have found it looks like a lot of Omega watches are found in them.
