1881-An 8 size, 14K gold hunter case pocket watch by American Waltham Watch Co. The singe-sunk white dial is faintly crazed and features black roman numerals in the hour chapter, with black hash marks around the outer chapter ring. The seconds dial is marked with arabic numerals in 10-second intervals. The hands are blued and mismatched: an open morning glory, and a spade. The seconds hand is a blued whip. The front bezel screws off, and the glass crystal appears to be original. Stem wind, lever set. The case is ornately decorated with various patterns including a crane and foliage. The edge of the case is decorated with a fine floral pattern. The rear case swings open and is engraved "A. W. Co/ 14k". The cuvet is engraved "1882". The gilt, full-plate movement with exposed balance wheel is inscribed "Am. Watch Co/ Royal/ Patent Pinion/ Waltham, Mass." The serial number, 1523596, dates the watch to 1881. This watch is a fine example of the 1873 model. HKA#64575
