Is there a way of finding out if it's worth anything?

I got it for £1 at a car boot sale, amongst some very good bargains.

Do the numbers and letters on the back actually tell me anything?

It has Quartz written at the bottom and Ingersoll at the top.

Thanx.

I'm not trying to be funny but £1 seems about right.

Oh well.
Seems like i get to keep a gold-plated Ingersoll watch, which keeps perfect time, or near as dammit, does, for the price of a small bag of chips, then!
biggrin

E Bay has already netted me £162, from the £50 i paid for a box of goodies at that car boot, so the watch would only ever have been a bonus.

Stop press.
The m-i-law will love this year's Xmas pressy!
