Based upon the movement serial number (12223025), your watch is a circa 1903 18-size 7-jewel model 1883 "Sterling". This is a relatively low-grade watch that was made in large numbers.

Value is pretty low: $50-$75 In fact, there is currently an almost identical watch on eBay with a buy-it-now price of $75.
