@Falconpunch82 I think this one is from 1915. You might find a crystal at a flea market or on Ebay. The problem with that is unless you know the size it might not fit since they don't sell them for specific pocket watches only by style and size. You could go to a jewelry store but they may cut corners by gluing in a smaller crystal. From what I have seen crystals are pressed in. The fit is so good that no glue is used, they just snap in. If a crystal has been glued in it is a replacement.
Wow that's almost exactly like mine! What year is yours?
Also if you knew where to get a good crystal for a 1917 E. Howard (Keystone) I would greatly appreciate some suggestions :)
