Antique Rotherhams silver hunter pocket & chain
Antique boxed Rotherhams silver full hunter pocket watch with chain.
The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Rotherhams, London, and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover.
Rotherham & Son evolved from S Vale who were established in 1747. To begin with, the company bought in ebauché (or blank movements) but in the latter part of the 19th Century they began to manufacture their own movements. By the late 1880s, they were considered to be an important Coventry watch manufacturer producing 100 units a week.
The company continued to grow and it is estimated that they manufactured some 600,000 movements between 1880 and 1930. While not as prolific as some of the big Swiss and American factories, such as Waltham who produced 26 million in the same period, they were still considered to be among the best English “volume” maker.
Rotherhams later diversified into cycle and automobile parts and watch manufacturing ceased in the 1930s.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the covers for Birmingham 1903 with a case maker's mark for John Rotherham (Rotherham & Sons). The case is in good condition and the cartouche is vacant.
The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.
The signed dial has two or three hairline cracks but two are not visible to the naked eye. Pin set hands.
The watch comes with a double albert with each chain measuring 19cm long.
The watch and chain comes in an antique Rotherhams presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us for international shipping prices. Due to changes in EU regulations, including Northern Ireland, we no longer ship to these destinations.
For other countries, The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
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.
