Vintage 14ct Elgin Ladies' Pocket Watch - Appraisal & Sale

Question
I own a 14ct Elgin pocket watch. When I was given it I was told it was a 'lady's model. It is in perfect working order but unfortunately , years ago, when my son was little, he broke the hinge on the front cover. I want to sell it but know nothing about watches really so would not be able to come up with the correct description for an Internet ad. Nor would I have any idea of a value. My preference would be to sell it to an antique dealer or auctioneer. I am told Elgin watches are more sought after in the USA [I live in Ireland] and as I will be in Orlando at the end of the month, I wonder if you could point me in the direction of a store that may be interested. Any input appreciated. Regards. Mary

Hello Mary and thank you for your inquiry. I'm not a watch collector but can refer you to an antique shop in Winter Park, Florida - just north of Orlando. The proprietor is Hardy Hudson and the Antiques on the Avenue shop is located on Park Avenue in Winter Park.
