1745 George ii square pillar verge fusee pair cased pocket watch
A beautiful mid 18th century silver Verge pocket watch hallmarked for London 1745. The watch was made during the reign of King George II in the same year as the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. The outer case is in good condition with no major dents and is engraved with the Initials’J. R’ encircled with an ear of maize, however it doesn’t snap shut as it should. The inner case is in good condition and snaps shut just fine. It is also engraved with The name’J. Rogers’ which matches the initials on the outer case. It is hallmarked for London in 1745. The movement itself was made by’J. Josephson’ and is beautifully engraved as well as having a unique White Porcelain dial with the name’Thomas, Minerds’ painted on it in place of numerals. I have examined and cleaned the watch and found it requires a new Balance spring in order for it to run however this is a cheap and easy fix. The watch weighs 82.68 grammes (2.91 Ounces) and the outer case measures 4.7 centimetres (1.85 inches) in circumference excluding the Bow and stem.
