Antique silver Waltham Ellery pocket watch, 1874
Antique silver Waltham Ellery pocket watch, 1874, and chain.
The watch has a William Ellery grade movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 783,531 dates it back to around 1874. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some unevenness.
William Ellery signed the Declaration of Independence for Rhode Island in 1776.
During the Civil War, Waltham's watch factory designed the William Ellery model. Selling for just $13.00, these watches became very popular with Union soldiers. By 1865, the year the war ended, William Ellery movements represented almost 45 per cent of Waltham's unit sales although today we see far more of other Waltham grades, such as the Traveler.
The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks for Chester 1876 with a case maker's mark of AB for Alfred Bedford, manager of Waltham UK. The case is in good condition for such an early piece, a little gentle unevenness in places and light surface marking.
The acrylic lens is in good condition.
The dial is in very nice condition.
The watch comes with a silver albert chain, unusually long at 44cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Hallmarked on the T-bar for 1912. Each of the links has the lion silver mark. Also included is a silver fob with the initials WB on a rose gold wash to the front of the fob, and the year 1922 on the reverse.
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.
