WOMAN: This was my mother's. She passed a couple of years ago. And I just brought it with me to see if it was worth anything.
APPRAISER: It's based around "V for Victory." This was a watch that was sold during the 1940s during the war, and a lot of the retailers were supporting the war and people were really patriotic. Cartier is a French company that had a flagship store on Fifth Avenue. It's got a clip on the back, and you put it on, like, a fine piece of clothing, and you can look down at it and see the time. Cartier is one of the most premium companies in the world, especially their watches, and things like this are really, really rare and valuable. A watch like this probably would auction or retail for around $3,000 in today's world.
GUEST: Oh! Well, my niece will love that. That'll help pay for her tuition.
