An Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway casebound watch by Thornton of Paris. The front of the brass case is clearly engraved "Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway Co. No.31" in early serif capitals. The brass bound polished wood case is 2 1/4"x1"x4" tall. In fine, original condition. No key. The Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway opened in 1842 (from which date this watch probably dates), and amalgamated with the NBR in 1865. These stagecoach style watches are very rare. A really historic item.
