This is a very large & heavy American Gentleman’s Silver pocket watch, the watch retains its original white enamel dial & hands as well as what looks to be the original hand cut thich glass, its just totally original and comes from an old estate. The watch has a very low serial number for a Springfield at #806 its from the very first year of production in 1872 and the second grade to be made from what i can tell, it was started with the “Stuart” grade and then the “Mason”. The watch is not working and has imperfections, we have not tried to wind and the balance seems ok but is sticky and does not want to move freely, please assume it needs a full strip down and service at the very least. The case is incredible as the whole watch weighs just shy of 7 ounces troy!!! A massive solid Coin Silver case by Dueber with a makers symbol of an Anchor? The case is a very well made huge case but even has solid Gold hinges like all of the best Silver watch cases have. Size: approx 6 cm across the watch case. Please look at the images closely as they represent an important part of the description, thanks. Any questions please ask.
