Question
I have recently bought a bag of 6 pocket watch cases at a church garage sale. They range in size from small to medium to large. 1 small and 2 medium Defiance watch cases 1 large wadsworth 1 medium oincre and 1 small myrto case. I would like to sell them but dont know where to start.

Answer
Ms. Kathy,

Get a book by Cooksey Shugart, "The Complete Price Guide to Watches".  

There will be a section on cases.  You can match up the cases and see what they
sold for at recent meets.

That is the best way to get the value.

Remember to check the condition.  That is the main factor in value.

Next, you can place an add on ebay.  Plenty of buyers.

Kind regards,

Melvin
