This beautiful 8th century large heavy solid silver pocket watch is a fine example of a working pocket watch that has stood the test of time for over 180 years. It is a key wind fusee mechanism that winds smoothly and keeps good time (Tested working - Key required)
Date lettering suggests this piece being 1836-1837 by a rather flourished letter 'N'. Similar embellished engraving of the word 'LONON' on the movement housing case can be seen and on the movement the name 'Parkinson & Co, Cornhill and serial No: 5437 can be found engraved. Stamped on the inner leaf of the outer back casing cover are the initials JH
Hallmarks can be seen on the inner leaf of the inner back cover and are that of the fineness mark a lion symbol (silver) and an essay anchor symbol (Birmingham)
