Antique English Sterling Silver & Tortoise Shell Pocket Watch Display Casket - Tortoiseshell, Large!
Fabulous, pristine antique English sterling silver & tortoiseshell 4.5" pocket watch display piece, a pique style silver inlaid facade and marvelous condition! Okay, here's a unique one both in style and condition...we rarely find them so well preserved! English sterling silver hallmarks date the piece to the early 1900s, the fading to the interior velvet lining the only sign of that age. Meant for a 2.5" diameter watch, the view has a 2 3/8" width. Ideal for the pocket watch collector or dealer, I can't think of a better way to present a favorite timepiece....can you? Excellent condition! NO chips or damage to the tortoise facade, only a small dent to the bottom edge of the silver framework. There are a few small leather or leatherette chips but the entire case, easel stand and all, are intact and in fine working order. See pictures for measurements.
