Dial: This nice
looking original Rockford signed dial is in good shape. It features
black Roman numeral hour marks surrounded by a minute track. There
are some minor blemishes, included a small edge chip and a couple
of faint hairlines. The thin moon style hands appear in excellent
condition are are quite possibly original to this watch.
Movement:
This beautifully damaskeened nickel movement is signed JOHN
M. SMYTH CO, SPECIAL, CHICAGO, ILL in black filled engraving. This
very high grade movement is also marked 17 JEWELS ADJUSTED. It is
in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with just a couple
of tiny surface marks visible upon close inspection. This well running
pocket watch has been professionally serviced, and is keeping good
time!
Case: This gold
filled case is in good working order. It does have some signs of
use, including some minimal wear to the brass. All of the lids open
and close correctly. The crown and bow are functioning properly,
and have lots of life left. This would make a great every day carry,
and would also make a nice addition to a collection.
Crystal: The
clear glass crystal is in new condition!
