The movement, manufactured by the United States Watch Co. of Marion, New Jersey, is an 18 size, 7 jewel, key wind, key set, pocket watch in hunting configuration.  It features a gilt movement finish and a unique "butterfly" cut out over the escapement.  The watch dates to approximately the early 1870's.  Winding and setting both function as they should with the appropriate keys.  Watch does not currently run, as it seems the mainspring is slipping.  Balance swings free and appears to be intact.  Watch will need to be serviced to be put in to good working order.

The single sunk white enamel dial, signed United States Watch Co., is in very good condition showing some light surface scratches and a few small chips to the perimeter that are hidden by the bezel.  Blued steel spade and whip hands are in good condition with a mismatched but appropriate sized small seconds hand. 

The sterling silver hunting case with unusual decagon case frame, is in very good condition showing typical scuffs and light scratches scattered across the exterior but no dents or other significant damage.  F.M. maker's marks can be seen inside of the case lid and case back, but I do not have a reference of who the maker was.  Cartouche with engraved details on the case lid is crisp and free of any personal engraving.  Case lid springs open when the crown is depressed as it should and closes securely.  Bezel snaps tightly closed.  Both the case back and cuvette close securely.  All four case hinges are in excellent condition with no excess play.  Bow is tight to the pendant and the pusher on top of the pendant shows wear.  Excluding the pendant, and from flat to flat of the decagon the case measures 55.10mm (57.4mm from the high points).  Mineral glass crystal is in good condition.  Case was tested at a local jeweler as sterling silver.  As a whole, the watch weighs 5.4 oz. (154g).

Watches I sell are typically ran for at least 48 hours in both the dial up and pendant up positions to make sure they are keeping reasonable time.  Watches have not been cleaned or serviced unless otherwise specified.  Watches should be cleaned and serviced to guarantee accuracy and to preserve them for years to come.
