The movement overall of very good quality, with a cut-away plate and gold plated wheels. The watch ticking away on my desk as I type this, and keeping very good time for a 100 year old watch. The watch with movement number 14,654,xxx, and with 15 jewels. The movement signed on the top plate, "Frank W. Baier of 209N 8th Street, St. Louis, Mo.". The watch is much brighter and crisp than in these dark photos, which are limited by my camera and lighting equiment. The watch is in very good working order for its age. The watch movement is a Waltham 1899 hunting calibre.
THE CASE: 100% mint, the 14k gold filled case measures an impressive 51 mm. The front and rear covers both close nice and tightly and the hinges are all in good tight order.

The top cover pops open when the pendant button is depressed, and in fine condition, with later dedication on inside of top cover , dated 25.12.74 from Susie. The watch case deeply engraved all over with leafy patterns, in stunning condition, a very expensive watch case when new. The watch comes with a new presentation box to store the watch when not in use.
This is a high quality case, a work of art in its own right in a crisp hunter cased watch in simply stunning condition, which is a very rare collectable item or a possible investment for the future or of course a fine gift for a birthday, anniversary, wedding etc.
