JOSH DONISTHORPE STERLING CASE IN CASE MUSEUM QUALITY ASSURED AND FRESHLY SERVICED CIRCA 1830!

STOCK NUMBER # JOSH-SPW-3------I have for sale a museum piece for sure. This is a  perfect case in case with no personal engravings as the scan shows. This piece was created in Loughborogh within the Charnwood borough of Leicestershire England. The year this piece was created by Josh Donisthorpe was 1830 and it amazes me all these years later it runs with one turn of the key I kid you not. This Case has all the correct hallmarks and this is how we determine the year of production and the country as well. Across this outer case is 50mm and the inner case is 45mm across. The hinges on both cases are excellent and open and close properly indeed. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION, I I  have to shake my head as I can't understand how a pocket watch over 179 years old has a perfect porcelain dial without a flaw, I   looked and looked with a 10 power loop and then a macroscopic and I see only production marks NO FLAWS at all. This is a chain driven fusee movement and it is just serviced and all original. I did however change the main spring to be 100 % certain and it is the proper size and strength as the original piece has been measured for strength, width and length with our tools to do so. The serial number for this Josh Donisthorpe cas in case Fusee chain pocket watch is 459. The dial I may mention is pinned to the movement and again it is perfect. The balance cock is pierced by hand and with a beautiful engraving. As I write down the description I assure you it is ticking perfectly not a flaw. These vintage chain watches never kept good time but they run and run and run, 1830 and still here. Can we compare today's pieces with the T.L.C pieces from this era of 1830, not a chance, all these year later and it still goes. The chain and a nice pouch will be added no charge of coarse.
