ROBERT ROSKELL RACK AND PINION 18 KARAT GOLD CASE IN CASE

STOCK NUMBER ROSKELL1000------ In the year 1825 Jan 27th - U.S. Congress approves Indian Territory (in what is present-day Oklahoma), clearing the way for forced relocation of the Eastern Indians on the "Trail of Tears." Mar 4th - John Quincy Adams inaugurated as 6th president and in Liverpool a master watchmaker was producing stunning rack and lever chain fusee pocket watch as this fine example and well worthy to be in the same paragraph as J Adams and the birth of the state Oklahoma.

I must tell you that an 18 karat solid gold case in case are rare and hard to find and to have a fine pristine example in such fine high museum quality? this is unheard of. One must keep in mind that back in 1825 computers were not even on the table of thought, Electricity was only 50 odd years old by a kite flown in an electrical storm  by Ben Franklin. The telephone was the "town Crier" and still Robert Roskell managed to slowly produced some of the worlds finest time pieces as this one I have here before you without the aid or marvels of machines and man made lighting.

 The case in case are both spotless and well hallmarked from the assay's office of Chester and dated to 1825. The total weight of the cases not including movement, bulls eye glass crystal or metal bars is 65 grams which works out to a bit less than 2  1/2 ounces of pure 18 karat solid gold. The outer case across is 55mm. The inner solid 18 karat gold case is 50mm across. The dial is enamel and for a dial of an age of 183 years old it is stunning along with the solid 24 karat gold hands.

The movement is a chain fusee and it has a "Rack and lever" movement as Robert Roskell was famous for.

all hinges on these two cases are in perfect order. The movement is signed Robert Roskell and it is written on the movement "Liverpool,23,888. On the balance cock it is written "Patent" It is truly amazing that when you put the key into the key slot and wind it a few times, This 183 year old movement runs amazingly well. I have cleaned and serviced this piece and I can tell you that it came to me in well taken care of condition so with a little TLC and with close inspection of all gears, cogs and the fusee chain. I can attest to this historical piece as a genuine 18 karat gold case in case Museum piece in perfect order.
