An interesting mid-Victorian silver cased open-faced fusee pocket watch with silver dial, by documented northern watchmaker Edwin Mandefield, of Goodramgate, York, Yorkshire.

One unique and fascinating piece of provenance with this watch, is that there are TWO silver hallmarks exhibited on its case work one for Chester 1871, the other, for London 1872!

• Original lunette glass.
• Engine turned Guilloché silver dial and subsidiary second’s dial, with hand-rendered and engraved central gold and silver floral decoration.
• Raised Gothic style gold Roman numerals.
• Original blued fleur-de-lis hands.
• Quality fusee movement (numbered “58707”), with silver balance and ruby end stone.
• Aligned with the two silver hallmarks, there are also two Coventry case makers: William Taylor Ryley (“W.T.R”), of Little Park Street, Coventry, the other being John Hammon (“IH”), of York Street, Coventry.
• There is also the name “J. Bolton” engraved into the case back, a possible former watch owner?
• Comes with a winding key, together with instructions on how to wind and set the watch time.

Mandefield was born in York, 1847 and trained to be a watchmaker under his uncle, Walter Mandefield, who was a well-respected watchmaker, jeweller, and public figure in York, working from 14 Baker Hill. Once qualified, at the tender age of only 17, the young Mandefield continued to work for his uncle as a bona fide watchmaker until c1867, at which point he set up on his own at 9 Hall Field Road, York, from where this fine watch would have been assembled.

Such was the success of his watchmaking business, that Mandefield relocated to larger premises at Goodramgate, York, in c1875, where he remained until his death in 1903.
