Here is a RARE early production model of a gold-filled hunting case pocket watch. The movement was made in Springfield, Illinois in 1877 with a serial number of 95183. This watch is a 7 jewel, 18 size measuring 54+ millimeters, or over 2 inches in diameter. It has a gold gilt key wind, full plate. The movement is made of nickel. This model 2 is a lever-set stem wind watch. The balance wheel moves only which moved by my finger and it does swing back slowly. The front cover does not close. The watch case shows a lot of wear to the point that the engraving is shallow and missing in spots. There are hairlines on the dial between 11 & 12 o’clock. The front glass crystal is missing. This is a non-running rebuild! It comes with a watch chain and the key to wind it. This is a 147-year-old watch. It winds continuously as if the main spring is broken, but it could be restored.
