Antique Ingersoll Trenton pocket watch and chain
An antique Ingersoll Trenton pocket watch with chain.
Ingersoll was a very popular brand at the latter end of the 1800s selling $1 watches by mail order. By 1899, their production totally some 8000 watches per day, and in 1901 Ingersoll advertised that their $1 watches were sold by 10,000 dealers across the USA and Canada. Their advertising slogan was "The Watch that Made the Dollar Famous." Ingersoll purchased the Trenton Watch Company in 1908.
A 1911 advert for Ingersoll Trenton watches quoted… “The 15-jewel Ingersoll Trenton movement is as beautiful a watch as any man may need ask for. Its precision is more than most men require. It will give a full generation of faithful service and with the superior patterns and choice designs of the gold filled Ingersoll Trenton cases it makes an irresistible gift for a man.” At the time, the model as we have here retailed for $15.
This particular watch has a fully signed stem-winding movement which is working nicely.
The watch itself measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and was originally guaranteed for 25 years. Overall it is in good condition with just a couple of scratches to the screw-on back, the longest of which is about 1cm long.
The watch glass is in good condition.
The signed double sunk white enamel dial has a couple of faint hairlines to the centre section but they are not immediately noticeable to the naked eye. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
The watch comes with a single chain which measures 31cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.
The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
