Hello and welcome to another of my listings!! Today for your consideration is this Classic Form Rockford Transitional 18s Coin Silver Hunter Case Pocket Watch, circa 1882! This watch is currently ticking upon winding sitting on my desk. It appears to be missing the setting lever, when I removed the bezel I did not see it, though there is a cut for it. I do not know if it is broken or just missing. I strongly recommend a servicing as I do not know it’s service history. It dates to 1882 according to pocket Watch database and it is 9 Jewels and it is an 18s, Transitional Model. It does not come with a key. Dial has a number of hairlines on it. The case is a well worn coin silver Hunter case, opens when button is pressed to way past 90°. It has small dings and a lot of wear as this was someone’s daily wearer. Please see my photos as they can describe this watch better than I can!! Again it will have wear as it was worn as someone’s daily timepiece 100+ years ago. Overall, this is a cool antique Rockford Transitional pocket watch that would be a great daily wearer after service! Thank you for looking and best of luck!
