I am a private seller, and I am listing several watches from my personal collection of many decades. So, check my other auctions for interesting pieces.
Auction starts at incredibly low price of $100, no reserve.
Please No Offers To End Auction Early.
Here is an absolutely beautiful 1896 Waltham 21 Jewel Crescent Street in a C.W. Mfg. Co. Hunter Case that is marked to Assay 14K. This is the best watch in my collection as far as value and case condition. It is also the heaviest watch at 5 ounces (142.1 grams). Weight includes the movement. Lots of gold in this one! This was the watch of a banker or railroad executive back in the day. It would have cost a fortune back then. There are incredible machine turnings on the inside case of the back, see the photo.
The 14K marked case is in near perfect condition. All lids close tightly and with ease. There are no dings in the case, and the crystal is nearly flawless. I believe it has been replaced at one point and may be plastic rather than glass.
The Movement is a Waltham 21 Jewel Crescent Street Lever Set Model that dates to 1896. It runs down from a full winding non-stop and appears to be keeping reasonable time. I have not checked it for perfect accuracy. So if you plan on using this as a watch it will need a cleaning and timing. The only thing about this movement is that setting the time is a little skippy. But if you hold in on the setting lever slightly it can be set fairly easily. There are also some hairline cracks in the porcelain dial face at the 4 and 7 positions. They are hardly noticeable unless using a magnifying glass.
Please ask any questions you may have. Shipping will be FREE in the U.S. and an Adult Signature will be required for delivery.
I will put information about the movement below,
