I offered this watch for free on the pocket watch forum to anyone who鈥檇 pay the postage. No takers! So I have conditioned it, replaced the mainspring, fabricated a replacement cannon pinion, put on a pair of hands (not period correct, I know), put on a NOS glass watch crystal. No longer available for free, by the way.
