I have up for sale a wonderful antique Ezra Fitch April 22, 1879 Patent DUST PROOF Screw Down Bezel Gold Filled Fahy’s AMERICA Open Face Watch Case with ornate back, thick beveled glass, and highly detailed bezel and side case. Its a Gorgeous Case as you can see from the pics , measures approx 54.7mm outside diameter and approx 45.5 inside diameter. Both the front case / bezel and back case screw on and off. I let that for you to figure out. I do not have the knowledge base for that sort of thing. The back case is very handsome with a lovely detailed floral pattern and an etched City /Village scene. The sides are very ornate, the pattern looks sort of like a fern leaf scroll, its super nice. The crystal has a few light scratches and scuffs but it definitely usable unless you are uber fussy. I have no idea of the movement size that will fit the case and will leave that for you who are more knowledgable in that area. I would suspect that its for either an 16 or 18 size but as stated will let you figure that out using the mm diameter. The stamp on the inside of the back case has a circular backstamp with a FLAG depicted on the inside and the word AMERICA printed along with the patent date of April 22, 1879. The AMERICA brand case was made by FAHY Watch Case Co. I have provided lots of information and nice pics.

This listing is for. WALTHAM Wm Ellery 18s 11j Mod 1879 Pocket Watch in EZRA E. Very rare case with what appears to be the original movement too! This was possibly the first “dustproof case design” patented by Waltham president Ezra E. The case was professionally cleaned and polished to reveal and amazing silver case with excellent luster! The crown does NOT screw down any longer, but this is an awesome piece of history! Some typical scratches and small-med dents in body as is typical of a silver case. But it has a brand new-old-stock extra-thick original-type beveled-edge glass crystal! Movement is an 18-size Waltham Wm Ellery, Model 1879, 11-Jewel, s/n 2063168. While it is not running, it is complete with good balance, just needs to be serviced. The case is marked: PAT’D APR 22 1879 (Ezra Fitch Patent #214642, screw-down crown, explorer case). Swing-Out design works as it should, very good hinges, case screws, etc. Condition: Good+ Physical Condition – See Pictures! Not running, but complete, so just needs to be serviced. Crown will need to be machined in order to screw-down like it did 125 years ago. Please see all pictures for full review and inspection. Review pictures, read condition notes and ask questions if needed. More pics available upon request. I respond to any and all questions fast! Continued 100% feedback and 5-star reviews are what I strive for. This item is in the category “Jewelry & Watches\Watches, Parts & Accessories\Watches\Pocket Watches”.
