We are in possession of an antique chain driven pocket watch
( still in working order) which is wound by using 3 small
keys attached to the watch chain. The watch has been in the
family for over 100 years. On the inside of the case, there
is stamped  work consisting of a side profile of a lion on
top with a family crest type shield below and to the left of
the lion and a capital letter " L " to the lower right of
the lion. There are the capital letters T C stamped directly
below the lion. Any information as to who we could contact
to determine the manufacture and date it was made would be
helpful.   Thank you. Grant Barrows.

The lion is standing on 3of 4 feet. I believe the right
front paw is lifted off the ground.
