A very special watch.....(help required)
Well sentimental anyway! My Mum produced this watch today (while I was telling her of my new hobby). Turns out it is my great Grandma's and has been passed down the generations and now no longer works.
I'd guess this was early 1900's from the dates Mum gave me, but I can't be sure.
Thing is, apart from it being a vintage Ingersoll, I can't find a lot of information on it.
Can anyone help? I'd love to get it running again and present it back to my Mum.

I just googled "shock resistant" watches. Came into being about 1934, and more generally in use in the mid 50's.
I'd amateurishly agree on the rough 1950s look.
Probably wand wind. Did you try winding? I believe Ingersoll was like Timex and that this is likely to be a pin-lever watch that may not lend itself to great repairability. Easiest thing is to seek a local watchmaker and get an estimate.
