WALTHAM MUSEUM PIECE SERIAL NUMBER 76,524 IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER

STOCK NUMBER # WALTHAM6250------On Jan 1863 the Bayer company was founded, Abraham Lincoln signs the Emancipation of proclamation during the second year of the American Civil War making slavery's abolition in the rebel states an official war,  The Brooklyn, Bath and Coney island railroad opened for business. Idaho was recognized by the US Congress,  and a little further North in Waltham Mass (moved from Roxbury Boston to Waltham in 1853) this Waltham "Ellery" model was born as well!. I pondered for the longest time how to present this rare serial number Waltham with the original "Eagle Waltham case" so here I go...., I will start by telling you I personally have taken this piece apart and inspected each and every cog, wheel, spoke and jewel to make sure there are no flaws, crack , fistulas or tear marks. I can tell you even the balance wheel is pure and the end stone on the original balance cock is a genuine tested diamond!. If you notice, the dial is original and it does read" American Watch  & Co" The dial is in incredible condition considering it is a original enamel Waltham dial and really extra clean with  a line or so. This case is signed with the RARE SCARCE Eagle on the inside of the dust cover and as you can see this case has a very low serial number as 1851!. The case is made of coin sliver or .800 pure mixed with 20% nickel for a harder alloy and a brighter shine. The hands are original.  I had to look at them ten times with a loop to believe it myself but they are indeed and this is a key set by the front. You put the key over the minute hand and there is a squared off slot for the key to fit and when you turn the key the hands will move properly. The case across is 55mm and this hunter case does not open all the way when the crown is pushed in and I decided to leave it this way as it truly is an important piece. The movement is a key wind from the back and the main spring is well cleaned and greased properly. There are 11 clean large jewels to this Ellery model  1857, 18 size and again I have cleaned this piece with the utmost care like all my watches. The serial number on this Ellery Waltham pocket watch is 76,524 and both plates match with the same serial numbers. If ever you wanted to acquire a piece that will NEVER show up at auction anywhere and make sure it comes from a certified watchmaker, then this is the piece that has stood the test of time for over 150 years. Remember the first Waltham was produced only 1863 in West Roxbury South of Boston. The chain if you notice has a pencil lead attached to it which is really neat and of coarse it is Victorian era as well the key reads "Robert Meyer Plattsburgh NY". Please make no mistakes as this is a museum piece and will command a price for such. Awesome is th word for it's working condition, appearance and clean enamel dial!.

A pouch will be added no charge.

The price of this piece may create an Myocardial infarct so please remember the price of this museum Waltham piece is lower than book value  but adjusted for the rarity and the original Silver EAGLE CASE.

 IMPORTANT INVENTOR "KEYLESS"  STERLING SILVER CASE BY J. M. CABE LONDON ENGLAND

STOCK NUMBER #CABE1000------If the dial was in perfect condition then this is a 3500 dollar important piece indeed. James m Cabe was located on 8 king street Cheapside London England. He was tired of using and losing keys to fit into pocket watches so with an oil lamp, lead pencil and good old fashion mathematics he was one of the inventors of the "keyless" LePine style bar movement pocket watches from the 880's period. And low and behold this is a sterling demi hunter case!. Again I wish the dial was better but it is original and kilt fired enamel and original to this piece. The case is in nice clean condition and it is 55mm wide and the front cover pops open but not well considering the age of this important piece. The case serial number is 17440 and on the inside of the back of this snap in case there is a grossly etching and it reads " Thomas Gollak, Liberty Corner New Jersey 1918. This piece I place at the year of production 1880 or so as the movement is from this period. The winders are in the center of the movement for the changing of the hands and at the bottom on top of the barrel is the winder for the main spring to power this piece. There are there are 13 jewels to this piece and as you can see I have painstakingly cleaned this piece to perfect and it does keep time after all these years. The fob is sterling and was presented to me with this pocket watch and will remain with it. This J. M Cabe is half price only due to the fact of the dial and as well the case not opening a full 90 degree angle. It is clean and it is an important piece as it lead the way for the pocket watch industry to start using "keyless" wind and set pieces.

 It is a layer of 10,14,18Kt or better gold mechanically bonded under heat & pressure to one or more surfaces of supporting base metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. In the jewelry industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product. Under FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regulations, a product may be marked as 14, 12 or 10Kt Gold-Filled. Karat measurement of the gold content MUST be part of the marking or designation. (Beware of items offered as simply 'Gold-Filled' rather than 14Kt Gold-Filled or 10 or 12Kt Gold-Filled when trying to compare prices!) The finished product thus has a surface layer of gold of the the appropriate karatage, which is very thick compared to rolled gold plate or the heaviest electroplate ( = gold plated) material. These are minimum standards. Thus one might find 14/20GF or even 14/10GF as a stamp to denote 1/20 14KT Gold-Filled or 1/10 14KT Gold-Filled. Gold-Filled items are generally considered life-time products, and the gold layer will not quickly wear off, as it will in electroplated products. We do very rarely find an individual who cannot wear this material
