Title: Rare Waltham Pocket Watch w/Frosted Movement Serviced
Description: EXCELLENT condition. This area of pocket watch collecting is wide open and could be a lot of fun for a collector. The genre? Unusual and scarce movements with non-typical attributes. Unusual demaskeening or frosted plates like this 15j full nickel plated Waltham model 1883 made in about 1888. Frosted finishes are also rarely found on the old gold colored movements. Also notice the twin gold banking pin screws, attractive blued plate screws, cut bi-metallic oversized screw balance, screwed down chatons or jewel settings, fancy micro adjustment star regulator and pretty star shaped etching (demaskeening). This is a two piece swing out case. It is a little more resistant to moisture and dust than three part screw bezel, screw back cases. It is also of original manufacture with the patented trademark star and crescent. These cases by themselves are valuable. It is smooth on the back with no markings. I believe it is completely original which is rare for any pocket watch this old. The original single sunk porcelain dial has two short hairlines and one long one from the subsidiary seconds dial out to about the two. The others are almost invisible below the sub dial. All are very faint. Stem wound and stem set. Original thick beveled glass crystal. This is an 18 size American and measures 58 mm wide 20 mm thick. {$440} Item #4822
