Pocket Watch Case

This recent find comes from Estate of Retired Military Officer and Pocket Watch Collector. Pocket watch best I can figure dates to the late 1700′s and was a product of John Priest J. PRIEST who was a workman for George Graham and Thomas Colley a Simon Barkley was also brought in as a partner until his death in the 1750′s at this point John Priest took Barkley’s place next to Colley (Information from the 18th century vergefusee site). Timepiece is a Counter-Clockwise wind and has the Baluster Pillars with what I believe is a Gilt Brass Full-Plate. Movement is signed J. Priest with Birstwith No. 204 in Cursive under name. Both cases seem to match and look to be sterling, They also show some expected use/age wear (See picture #11 and #12). Outer case has 3 round service cards from what looks to be dates from 1811/1840s and 1870s (Also 2 quote card’s). Previous owner had watch serviced around 2016 and it Runs Good – (I have put Watch through 3 full winds and it tends to run +/- 1 to 3 minutes) it tends to start out slow but catches up between the 12 hour and 24 hour mark?

Here is a unique Hand Made Paired Case Fusee/Verge with a engraved face on the Balance Cock. The movement chain is intact and hooked up. The balance swings good and it will run for a minute or two but stops. It needs to be cleaned and adjusted. This is a one of a kind and it is close or over 300 Hundred Years old! The case is Golden bronze or brass color but the material is untested and unknown to me, so I assume Brass or gilded metal. I don’t have any way to test. The glass is original and has a flat spot on the dome for a nice visual effect. The dial is enamel, The hands are nice and appears to be made of Gold and are in good shape. The inner and outer case close tightly! A nice re-storable 1700′s Pocket Watch and will make a nice addition to someone’s collection. The Movement is not marked but is Beautiful Handcrafted and it looks to be all in one piece! Please look at the pictures and ask questions. To answer some questions. Also the balance appears to be good. The item “17 Century Verge/Fusee paired case” is in sale since Sunday, October 29, 2017.

Here is a unique Hand Made Onion shaped Fusee/Verge with a Repousee decorated back with a multiple figure scene. The movement chain has come loose but the hook is still attached as far as I can see. The case is worn but the designs are beautiful for an early 1700′s Pocket Watch! This is a one of a kind and it is close or over 300 Hundred Years old! The case is Golden color but the material is untested and unknown to me, so I assume Brass or gilded metal. I don’t have any way to test. The glass is original and has a flat spot on the dome for a nice visual effect it has scratches. The dial is enamel has a chip around the 6 oclock position and several scratches on the dial. The hands need to be buff to a shine but are in good shape. The inner and outer case close tightly! A nice restorable 1700′s Pocket Watch and will make a nice addition to someone’s collection. The Movement is marked “Ed m Pugh, London” Beautiful Handcrafted and it looks to be all in one piece! Please look at the pictures and ask questions. To answer some questions. I don’t believe it is a bullseye crystal which is a bubble type. This crystal was ground flat at the center. Also the balance appears to be good.
