1888 AMERICAN WALTHAM HUNTER COIN SILVER POCKET WATCH O'HARA CASE w/DOG ILLINOIS

Description: Hunter Case is American Waltham Watch Co., Coin Silver Coin silver is .900 or 900/1000 parts silver. Sterling silver is .925, or 925/1000 parts silver, so coin is just under sterling. Front and back have etched image of a hunting dog. Inside front cover it reads: A. W. W. CO.O'HARA PATENTSCOIN10136 Daniel O'Hara applied for his patent for a dustless case on June 7, 1884 and was granted it on December 9, 1884. O'Hara left American Waltham Watch Co to found O'Hara Waltham Dial Co in 1890. Front and back covers are hinged, as well as the inner cover. Movement is Illinois Watch Co, serial number 816307. I looked up the serial number and it said production was 1888, it's an 18s, 7 jewels. I am not a watch person, so I am going by what the serial number data said. Total weight is 132.8g. Please look at the watch and make your own judgments. All the serial numbers and engravings are in the photos. You can see that the back cover has a few dings. Whole thing needs a good polish. RUNS, but runs a little slow. I wound the crown, but did not want to overwind--in 12 hours, it lost about 2 minutes. Free Shipping! Bid with confidence!Thank you for your interest in this auction.
