QuestionMy mother gave me some old gold pocket watches to sell on ebay.
My question is , how can I tell if they are gold filled , gold plated or solid gold? Some are marked 18k up on the stem, others 14 k inside .
AnswerPaul, long distance evaluations are somewhat guesswork. You really need to hsve s jeweler check the watch cases for you. This website will likely help right away:(Images are better than my wordy description.)
