Antique Watches..............(see Antique Watch Chains and Fobs below them)

Watch #1:    Add to Cart

Seth Thomas, 18 size, 15 Jewel, adjusted Private Label movement. Serial Number 79262 (Ca.1887). This watch was manufactured by Seth Thomas for H. Adolph, Poplar Bluff, MO. It runs great and is a very high quality timepiece that would have been acceptable for use on the rail road at this time because it is adjustable and has a micro-metric regulator adjustment. It is lever set and the dial and movement are both marked H. Adolph and appear to be in near mint condition. The case is a Globe manufacture, yellow gold filled with a blank shield on the front lid and a floral design on the back lid. This timepiece is absolutely gorgeous and will satisfy even the most picky collectors. Your friends will envy you carrying this one. Price $425.  Sale Subject to Disclaimer Above

 

Watch #2       Add to Cart

Elgin, 18 size, 15 Jewel, adjusted lever set movement marked B. W. Raymond. Serial Number 1,386,936 (Ca. 1883). This watch runs great and is a very high quality timepiece that would be acceptable for rail road service during its time. B. W. Raymond is a model of the Elgin Watch Company. It is lever set, micro-metric adjusted with a double sunk glass dial and fancy hands. The case is a Keystone manufacture, yellow gold filled with a blank shield on the front lid and a very nicely engraved deer on the back lid. This timepiece is near mint all the way through. Another very beautiful timepiece. Price $425.

Watch #3           Add to Cart            

New York Standard, 18 size, 7 Jewel, lever set movement that is running quite well. It is virtually impossible to determine the correct manufacture date of New York Standard watches. They opened in 1885 and closed in 1929. In this short time they manufactured over 30,000,000 watches with and without serial numbers and kept no accurate company records. However, we feel that this watch was manufactured prior to 1900 due to the case and other factors of the watch. The case is yellow gold filled and is showing smooth, average wear. What really sets this watch off is the absolutely gorgeous fancy dial. This is one of the prettiest we have ever seen and sure to please the lucky buyer of this watch. Price $275.  Sale Subject to Disclaimer Above

 

 

 

 

 

Watch #5               Add to Cart    

Elgin, 18 size, 7 jewel, key wind/key set with Serial Number 1,835,359 (Ca. 1885). The watch runs good and is in a triple hinged silveroid (nickel) case. Clean watch with a thick glass crystal that can handle a lot of abuse. A key is provided on all KWKS watches.

 Price $175.   Sale Subject to Disclaimer Above

 

 

 

Watch #6               Add to Cart

Elgin, 18 size, 7 jewel, stem wind, lever set with Serial Number 1,981,715 (Ca. 1885). The watch runs good and is in a screw back and bezel yellow gold filled open face case. The case is showing some wear and is marked 25 year. However, it is not a 25 year case. If you want an inexpensive, knock around type watch, this is the one. Price $100               Sale Subject to Disclaimer Above

 

 

 

 

Watch #4                      

Waltham, 18 size, 7 jewel, key wind/key set from the back Model 1859, William Ellery. It bears the Serial Number 70,470 for a true Civil War timepiece of 1863. A good portion of these watches came out in a solid gold case and the cases were eventually scrapped. Since this is a back set watch, it will not fit the normal KWKS cases. However, this one has been nicely re-cased in a 3 ounce coin silver case. The original dials were not marked so this has the original glass dial. It runs well and is a very difficult watch to find in any condition. A key is provided on all KWKS watches. Price $300.
