From the serial number, it is indeed a Ball-Hamilton.

Sorry to be a curmudgeon, but I'd prefer not to see folks referencing the rip-off thief of an inaccurate website known as the Pocket Watch Database.
Thanks to Ben and all the rest.
The watch runs fine after a bit of winding.
I want to get it appraised, but I don’t think it will be any time soon, at least until the end of the month.
What do you guys keep your watches in? I had this one in a wooden box meant for a compass.

I keep my very best RR pocket watches in the vault at our local bank (safety deposit box). I go to the bank and wind them twice a year. My other carry watches, are kept in the top drawer of my dresser, and I periodically wind them.
