Pocket Watch: Antique Silver Filled Thomas Russell Full Hunter Pocket Watch

The watch has a 10 jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Thomas Russell & Son, Liverpool. Thomas Russell & Son was a well respected business having achieved a Royal Warrant as watch and clock makers to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. The movement is protected by an inner cover which has a few scratches. The watch measures 54mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver filled which is quite unusual. The case is in good condition with just a hint of unevenness to the back of the watch, nothing too serious at all. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside the front cover, there is the engraved name of a former owner, John Madden with a date of 1919. The glass lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in good condition, just two short faint hairline cracks on the visible perimeter…. but difficult to see with the naked eye. Blued steel hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
