$325.00+
Description:
Go back in time with this gorgeous antique pocket watch!
This antique (circa 1890s-1900s) gold filled pocket watch is stunning. The front and back have very detailed etched designs of beautiful floral landscapes. One has a house/building etched at the center. We have attached it a chain to be worn as a necklace, but simply remove the chain to use it as created (as a men's pocket watch)!
The case is made by Dueber, the watching inside is made by Elgin. The inside also engraved "Feb 18 1901" on the inside, when it was likely given as a gift.
NOTE: The watch does not keep time. As shown in the second video, it will work for a while once wound but falls behind. It may be able to be repaired.
We have attached the pocket watch to a vintage 12K gold filled rope chain that is 24 inches in length. The watch can be purchased with or without the chain.
Items to note:
• The marking "Trade Dueber Mark Canton, O. U.S.A." belongs to the Dueber Watch Case Mfg. Co. of Canton, Ohio, which registered this specific trademark on July 23, 1895.
• Manufacturer: Founded by John C. Dueber, the company manufactured high-quality watch cases and later acquired the Hampden Watch Company in 1886, forming the Dueber-Hampden Watch Co. in Canton, Ohio.
• The Elgin Elgin American company started in New York in the late 1870s. The company moved the manufacturing arm of the business to Elgin, IL. Elgin was known for its watch cases and compact cases, producing them well into the 1940s.
