Pocket Watch Case

18 size 15 jewel hunting case lever-set pocketwatch. Absolutely beautiful movement with a scarce 2-tone damaskeen pattern that features a circular checkerboard pattern at the center, vertical stripes of checkerboard at the sides, and an attractive 2-tone pattern to the mainspring barrel cover. Movement is marked “Adjusted” and would have been railroad grade at its time of manufacture, and this movement is identified in Greg Frauenhoff’s Aurora Watch Co. Book as a Grade 8 with an estimated total production of 1620 made in the hunting case version. Watch is fronted by its correct double-sunk enamel dial and is housed in a Philadelphia Watch Case Co. Movement serial number is 81499. Running and a beautiful movement with a superb bright 2-tone color and luster, likely the finest example I’ve ever seen for this particular damaskeen. One casescrew is nickel colored so a mismatch to the other blued movement screws. Dial is very nice with just some faint hairlines in the outer chapter. Hour and minute hands are different styles. Case front springs open a bit past 90 degrees but with a light touch continues to open further to a good ways past 90 degrees as seen in the side view photo, front latch hangs up on the bezel at times, neck of case has a small screw hole that is currently empty, and inner surface of outer case back and the cuvette both have some scratches.
