Based on the below link it appears I may have a 148 year old E. Howard pocket watch with an 895 serial number.

My dad passed away 35 years ago so I have no idea where he got it from. It still runs and keeps decent time based on the last 24 hrs. The back cover plate screws off so I'm guessing that it is not original.

My pictures are too big to upload so these are the photobucket links (3):

You have a ballpark of what this would sell for? I haven't decided if I'm going to sell it or not. Thanks.
