    Masterpiece

    Hey Cats,

    Just got this as payment for services rendered.











    Showed it to my former teacher.....let's just say that I'm very very fortunate to have a watch of this magnitude 😊

    Peace,
    Preston

    I know 'thing one' about pocket watches; but that looks an absolute delight

    Yes I have the key. I'm looking for a chain for it now.

    It's a E. Howard & Co. of Boston. They're known for making very high end pocket watches in low numbers.

    Low serial number. Solid silver case. The box is not original, it's an old Birks piece I use to store my best pocket watch in.

    Peace,
    Preston

    I'm way ahead of you on the eBay front ☺

    The watch dates to 1861 and it's a regulator movement which I don't know anything about but I'll teach myself.

    My teacher valued it at $6000 and if enough fight over in an auction setting it could do very low 5 figures. This is what my former teacher tells me, is it true or not, that will remain a mystery.

    Peace,
    Preston
