What does 725 stamped on a gold 1865 pocket watch mean?
It means that the gold components of that pocket watch are made of 18 karat gold. The max is 24 karat gold (pure gold). Most high end jewelry are made of 18 karat and very rarely 21 karat. There are no 24 karat as they would be at high risk since pure gold is very malleable (can bend easy). Since 18 karat and 21 karat are not 100% pure they are mixed with usually copper for yellow gold or silver if you have white gold.

If the ratio of the amount of money in David's pocket to that in Indira's pocket is 10:9, we can express this relationship mathematically. Indira has 27p, which corresponds to the 9 in the ratio. To find the amount David has, we can set up a proportion: ( \frac{D}{27} = \frac{10}{9} ). Solving for ( D ), we find that David has ( D = 27 \times \frac{10}{9} = 30p ). Thus, David has 30p.
Does it have a hallmark? Strawbaum is a very rare surname. My grandfather was an antique dealer and his surname was Strawbaum. He was originally trading in Yorkshire but moved to Brighton. I will have to ask my mother for the dates. His father - my great grandfather - apparently left his family with his eldest son and moved to Kimberley to join the search for diamonds. I would be interested to buy this watch if you still have it. I don't know the value but it should be possible to find out from the condition and the date. I expect that someone who deals in antique watches would know the value. My email address is John22L@aol.com. I would be interested to see photos of the watch and the engraving. I'm just guessing but maybe my great grandfather went into business with someone called Rigal in Kimberley.
