Description:
A silver hunter cased pocket watch, maker Rotherhams English Circa 1896 3.8 cm dial diameter, 5 cm case diameter, 6.2 cm high. A silver hunter cased pocket watch, maker Rotherhams. English Circa 1896. Gents silver hunter, plain case, brass crown on winding stem, round bow. Birmingham. hallmark for 1896 and case-maker's mark "JR". White enamel dial marked in black "Rotherhams" above an eight-pointed star which is. between the letters "G" and "B". Black Roman hour numerals, subsidiary seconds dial, blued. steel hands. Stem wound movement which does not swing out of the case. Backplate fully encloses the. movement; solid, narrow, plain balance cock. Two-arm bi-metallic balance. Signed on the. backplate "I Ronald, Greenock" and the number 111942. Hands set by pressing the knob on. the side of the watch near the winding stem. Footnote: This watch raises a number of questions: has it had a replacement dial, been re-cased. (although the movement is of the same period as the case), and where did the style of housing. of the movement in the case come from? The case is older than the preceding Rotherhams, but is stem wound and not key wound. Dimensions: 3.8 cm dial diameter, 5 cm case diameter, 6.2 cm high
