Any watch collectors? [View all]

I had a couple of pocket watches I thought I'd put in the booth. The gold watch is missing the crystal and the second hand, but is running. I started to check to see what kind of watch it is and I'm stuck. I got the back open and the works are marked The Joseph Welf and Sons Co. Cleveland, Ohio, number stamped on the works: 2344133, 17 jewels. I can't find much information. I found a pocket watch database, but had no luck there. Does anyone know where else I can look? Thank you I think it might be a pretty good watch, even if it's not complete. The other watch is a Wesclox Scotty, and it really is in pieces.
