Pocket Watch : Antique Silver Pocket Watch and Chain

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 935 silver, so slightly purer than sterling silver, and there are Continental hallmarks inside both of the case backs. The front of the case is in good condition. A couple of “dings” and a little unevenness in places but overall good for a piece of this age, c1910s. The glass lens is in lovely condition. The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, M Paton, Birmingham. There is a faint hairline running from between 12 and 1 towards the centre, but it is not very noticeable to the naked eye. The watch comes with a single silver chain, 33cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Also included is a silver 1950s fob which is engraved to the reverse, P Beldon, 1958-59. The watch and chain come in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
