I don't know sorry. Thorpe & Hoberg sounds like a private label Jeweler that put their name on a watch made by someone else.

You can see Thorpe & Hoberg, Souix City, IA. Adjusted. 17 Jewel. Serial number and FAST imprinted on workings. The case is a Keystone, hunter, with cuvette. 14K. JBOSS. 25 Years. Looks like there is a hand engraved 879J on the inside, back cover.

Very hard to tell without photo and what metal it is made of.
