Rockford 16s 15J, circa 1890
"Dome Model", Grade 112
Lever Set, Stem Wind
Gold Filled Double Hinged Case
Dial: This nice
looking original Rockford signed dial is in good shape. It features
Roman numeral hour marks surrounded by red Arabic 5 minute marks,
as was common for dials of the 1880s-90s. There are some slight
edge chips as seen in the photos, but are covered by the bezel.
The Breguet style minute hand is black, while the hour hand is a
dark blue - likely a replacement. It is very hard to spot the difference
in color as they match up very well.
Movement:
According to the Rockford records there were only about 3800
Grade 112 Dome model movements produced. There are some spots on
the gilt finish and winding wheels that do not impact its performance.
Overall, it shows well. It has been professionally cleaned and oiled
and is keeping excellent time!
Case: The gold
filled double hinged case is in great condition, with just a touch
of brass noticeable upon very close inspection. The hinged bezel
and hinged back lid open and snap closed properly.
Crystal: The
clear plastic crystal is in excellent condition!
