Antique Waltham pocket watch with history.
The watch has a key-wound movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 6580152 dates it back to around 1873. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a mild indentation and light surface scratching, nothing serious.
The watch measures 57mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and is hallmarked for Birmingham 1876 with a case maker's mark of AB for Alfred Bedford, Manager of Waltham UK. The case is in a very acceptable condition for a piece of its age, gentle unevenness to the back and the majority of the engine turned detail has worn off just from 140 years of wear.
The inside of the case back has a previous owner's details, Fred Leaver, 21 Every St, Nelson. According to ancestry records, Fred Leaver was born in 1875 (so the watch was possibly a christening present) and he went on to become a cotton weaver. The house in Every Street, Nelson is in Lancashire and is still standing today.
The watch glass is in lovely condition.
The signed dial is in very nice condition and the fleur de lys hands are a charming feature.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
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.
