Description
crown verge / fusee watch, less outer case. The rear cover has the name P. Dillon engraved, and with dents and scratches. The porcelain dial has a spider crack branching out from the center. The watch is otherwise sound with chain and balance staff intact and is ticking. Gilding on the movement is bright and there is no apparent rust. The watch comes with a C.1840, continental bronze watch hutch in the Gothic style. It appears to have had a timepiece movement permanently installed at one time, as empty threaded holes that held the rear cover are obvious. However, it now has a rear hook at 12 and makes a great looking hutch (has been this way for a long time). Height 11 inches. One bid for both.
