Ladies has the following: back cover stamped 641426 A inside movement stamped 777559, 493 FSAR. WL0804, 18kt. 750, cameo figure, evergreen tree, key with #3 4/10 inside back case cover. Thanks, Sandra

I have followed the proceedure to download a pic but it has not worked. Any suggestions? In my first description there were inside movement numbers, are these the numbers you are referring to? thanks

If you can't upload pictures try to give a link to here they are elsewhere. By inside movement numbers do you mean the serial number stamped on the movement? Any thing on the case, in terms of dating, is not useful.

yes I do believe that the numbers provided are movement serial. The jeweller refurbished these pieces and recorded all from the inner workings. I am not having much luck with the link thing either, not much of computer wizzard. I know you said not to send through mail but I it was the only method that I could figure out, I took a picture of the appraisal (with no value! go figure) he verbally told my brother before taking $1000. that they were worth $10,000 each, after reading this forum, I'm pretty sure he's been taken! My regular jeweller couldn't believe that he was charged that much to refurbish. Anyway, let me know if you're able to help.
