I have a MK&T Train Dispatcher Pocket Watch (21 Jewel, Swiss, 3 adjust, Quartier Freres movement, Gibraltar case, etc.) passed down from my grandfather. He died in 1928, but did work for the KATY for a while (but not sure how when and/or his job). I do not think he was a dispatcher. I am having no luck in getting the "watch" forums to help me with dating the watch. I have many pictures and several other indicators such as serial number, etc. Just looking for information to print off to put into the display case for my heirs. At one time I came across a web site that said employees had an opportunity to buy company watches in 1917, but now I cannot locate that site. Any help would be appreciated. I am told that this is the ONLY remaining personal item that belonged to my grandfather.

The Katy depot in Sedalia has a Railroad/MKT museum in the depot. Have you tried contacting them. They may have contacts who could help you find this info.
