Movement ID help

Attached are pics from a pocket watch that was given to me by my motherinlaw. I think it was her father's.

I would like to clean it up and put movement into a watch with a display back. Any insight would be great. I would like to get movement service instructions if possible.

The owner of the watch would have been about 100 years old.

The movement is about 28mm. Everything is unbranded except for 14k on inside covers with some numbers below.

Thanks in advance

14 K gold case. You might want to keep that movement in the case as is.

I'm sure someone here might recognize the movement. Probably [mention]Yoda[/mention] or [mention]unreformed66[/mention] would be the best to ask.
