1800 VERGE Tortoiseshell Pair Case Pocket Watch. W Flagg London. Working Antique
A very nice older Verge pocket watch with Tortoise Shell pair case by William Flagg of London. The movement is very clean and running strongly with a healthy tick for the full length of the fusee chain. I have checked it over 24 hours and it is running about 50 minutes fast which I think is acceptible for being circa 200+ years old. As you can see the m/ment top hinge is broken (parts in box) so care has to be taken when opening the front cover. Could possibly be repaired or a new hinge block made. The outer case measures 53mm diameter approx and looks to be made from some kind of bronze. It has polished up very well and looks just like gold. Looking at the interior of the inner case shows that it has been gold gilded when new. Rare to have them available with a Tortoise Shell covering but as you can see it has had some repairs in the past. The white ceramic dial is in fair condition with Black Arabic numerals and gold hands. It has a high dome crystal glass which is clear and in good condition. I have tried to describe it as honestly as possible but if there are any questions please send me a message. Overseas buyers please note that I can only insure for a max. Of 250 GB Pounds.
