Pocket Watch Case

The British Hallmark on the case is a Running Lion which indicates its made of Sterling Silver, the anchor mark indicates Birmingham manufacture location. The hallmark for the age is hard to decipher. I have pics of both the inside of the inner snap back case which holds the movement and the inside back of the outer case. View my last pic – its a closeup of the marks on the outer case. I posted pics to a Pocket Watch Facebook Group and one of the members suggested that its a C with two Vertical Bars through the middle – which would date it to 1826. Regardless it most likely dates to the 1820s – 1840s or there about time frame. The letter J H indicates the case maker – who I believe stands for Joseph Harris – Case Maker – The Butts, Coventry. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS ITEM WILL REQUIRE SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE CARRIER. The diameter of the outer case measures approx 58mm or 2-1/4. The dial face is excellent albeit the minute hand is missing. The case is in real nice condition – natural toning / tarnish as you can see. The serial number stamped on the movement is No. The movement is wound with a key and the hands are set with a separate key as the square on the stem for adjustment is larger than the size for winding the movement. The keys that I used are not included in the sale. The watch is NON FUNCTIONAL – Please read the condition report as I have provided some details. The good thing is that the balance wheel spin freely and when I spin it – it spins freely. As noted the hour hand is absent. The hands are set with a key but I want to noted that the size of the square on the front cannon pinion is larger than the winding arbor on the back. The square appears worn. View the pics to assess.
