American Waltham Large 18s Sterling Silver Engraved Hunter Cased Key Wind, Key set Pocket Watch with Sterling Chain, Extra-Fine, c.1882

What a beauty this old gentleman is and in remarkable all original condition. Full sized 18s 55mm diameter solid sterling silver hunter case with 4 hinges for cover, bezel, back and cuvette. All hinges are in great condition with no damage or repairs. Beautiful Victorian engraving with engine turned and floral pattern with cartouche and a coin edge. Inside the back is still the original watch paper from Waltham with a picture of the factory and certifying it's silver content. Beautiful original white porcelain dial with no chips or hairlines and original blued steel hands with no corrosion. Original round bow is still tight and stem cover release works properly. Case pops open and closed properly. Key wind from back and key set on hands. Key setting is a little tricky but not a problem if you are careful, it may need a better key though because it seems to fit correctly to wind the watch but it seems perhaps a size too big for hands set. Powered by the original Waltham Broadway movement that is crisp and clean, running strong and keeping very good time.  Comes with a solid sterling silver graduated Albert chain with dog clip and t-bar and a very worn 1890 Seated Liberty U.S. dime fob. Just a great old watch from the Old Wild West era.
