Antique American Waltham Pocket Watch

By garyndeb, 11 August, 2010
Description

The watch has a 14k yellow gold hunters style case. The serial number is 5744633, and it has 15 jewels. We looked it up on NAWCC, and that is where we found it was made between 1/1/1892 and 12/31/1893. It is considered a size 6. The works appear to have to have a gold design and it says American Waltham Watch Co. inside. The dial is white and is in excellent condition with no cracks. The case has a floral design on front and back. There are two small dents on the back of the case, but the case opens and closes.

History
This watch was left in a safe deposit box in a bank that has closed. No one claimed it and one of the bank employees bought the contents of the box. We own a jewelry store and she brought it to us to sell it for the scrap value of the gold. We told her she might make more money selling it as an antique, and she said she didn't want to mess with it. We purchased it and had it professionally cleaned and oiled, so it is in excellent working order.
