This was passed down from my great aunt to my mother to me. I don't know anything about its history. It runs but does not keep time. I didn't want to adjust it for fear of breaking something.
This watch IS for sale if anyone is interested.

I don't have a price in mind. I've seen similar for sale anywhere from $85 - $600 on eBay. I came to this site hoping this watch could find a new home with someone who would appreciate it. Make me an offer.
look as 8892 model, it would be a snapshot of the case from the inside
Dear Downsizing, your watch is the 5892. It was advertised during 1924 at a very high price of $300. Beautiful watch!
