I bought this pocket watch at a second hand store. I don't know anything about it. The inside of the watch is really the most interesting part of the pocket watch, it is in great shape. In the detail of the decoration there are lots of flowers and a mans face with an extented moustache Much like the 'late 18th century duplex by Mark McCabe' @ http://www.antique-watch.com/des/w7951.html . The front face is plane with roman numerals. Its missing the short hand and has a small crack near the five also the case is missing the glass. The key is missing also.
This clock has been in my family for several generations. The face of clock says sessions clock co. On the back of the clock it says sessions clock co, formerly e.n. welch, forestville, conn.
I do not know what is beneath the wax; but her head, shoulders, torso & arms below the elbow are all wax. Her legs appear to be wooden? But I am not certian. Her clothes are attached & not removable. I cannot find any markings or makers anywhere on this doll. She is approx 18" tall. Her hair is very fine & rooted into the wax. My guess would be actual human hair or mohair? Her facial features are painted; except for her eyebrows & eyelashes - which are the same substance as her hair & also rooted in the wax. A great attention to detail has been applied to this doll. I am looking to find out everything I can about her, including a value. Some of her fingers are broken & one is missing with a wire protruding from the wax where it used to be.
