Description
This glass ball watch was retailed by "Bailey, Banks and Biddle" of Philadelphia (painted on porcelain dial). The glass areas of the watch are in generally good condition with some fine scratches on the front and some abrasion where the watch sits on its flattened base. The decorative porcelain dial has a hairline crack down the middle, top to bottom (no chips and the floral decoration is intact). The hands are original. The well made movement has 11j., and is marked "France". The movement seems to run quite briskly, but would probably benefit from a cleaning. Height 4 inches
