Waltham 16s Riverside Pocket Watch 14k Gf Fahys Monarch Coin Edge Case Runs
Posted by in waltham
Vintage American Waltham Watch Co. 16s hunter pocket watch with a good quality Model 1888 Riverside 17 jewel movement. The movement has an estimated production date of 1896 -1899. It has a beautiful gold filled coin edge hunter case marked Fahys 14K Monarch on the inside surface of the dust cover. This watch looks great overall with a few minor signs of age age prior use including a very light patina in a section of the outer track on the dial and a very small fine scratch on the dial between the 11 and 12 positions. There is a small notch (see photo) on the edge of the inside dust cover that looks like someone probably performed a gold test at some point. There is also a light impression on the top edge of the back cover from the bow. The movement has been running and keeping time for over 24 hours but is approximately 2 minutes slow and will need to be serviced for accuracy.
