RARE Circa 1921 Waltham Pocket Watch Fancy Dial 16s FAHYS MONARCH CASE RUNNING
Posted by in rare
CIRCA 1921 RUNNING WALTHAM POCKET WATCH. Movement Serial Number:24041473. VERY UNIQUE NEAR FINE FANCY DIAL. RARE FAHYS MONARCH CASE NEAR MINT FACTORY TAG INTACT. All sources identity MONARCH Cases as being Gold Filled. I believe this case to be Nickel but have been unable to identify ir find another example. Research indicates FAHYS Watch Cases Co. Went out of business during the Great Depression. Best guess this case was manufacturered shortly before company closed doors permanently.. Regardless the case and dial compliment each other. Overall a beautiful watch, and a unique piece of 1920′s Americana and the shifting styles and attitudes as seen in Post WW1 America. Watch winds sets and runs, but has not been checked for accuracy…
