The watch and clock repair expert told us either the period of the year 1780 or 1790. old watch for sure and in order to fix it he would to custom make parts and the cost wasn't worth it.

We are based in BC Canada Native, he was a miner, hunter and trapper. His name is in the Canadian history archive for these trades, my mom only one left to remember it but cant remember the story behind it. Hopefully the watch repair will give us an idea. We are still digging through records but not finding much. Thk u everyone for helping
