Description:  THIS SILVER PAIR CASE, VERGE FUSEE, IS A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF ITS PERIOD, 1853. THE MOVEMENT IS SIGNED "ROB & HULL, NEW MARKET, NO. 32754", WITH MATCHING NUMBER ON INNER CASE. THE INNER CASE HAS THE LION PASSANT HALLMARK WITH THE LONDON ASSAY OFFICE MARK AND DATE STAMP IS AN "S" FOR 1853. THE MOVEMENT IS NICELY GILTED WITH NICELY BLUED SCREWS. THE BALANCE COCK HAS AN ENGRAVING OF "FATHER TIME". THE WATCH RUNS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE FUSEE CHAIN AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED. THE WHITE PORCELAIN DIAL IS ACCENTED BY BLACK ROMAN NUMERALS WITH GOLD HANDS. THE DIAL HAS BEEN REPAIRED ALONG THE EDGE BETWEEN THE 2:30 AND 4:00 POSITIONS, HOWEVER, I DO NOT SEE ANY HAIRLINES OR FLAWS. THE BULLSEYE CRYSTAL APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND HAS SOME SIGNS OF ITS AGE. THE OUTER CASE HAS THE LION PASSANT ALONG WITH THE LONDON ASSAY OFFICE HALLMARK AND IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER "S" AS WAS THE INNER CASE. IT IS ALSO STAMPED WITH THE CASEMAKER'S INITIALS OF "JB". BOTH CASES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, HINGES ARE STRONG AND CLASPS WORK PERFECTLY. THE OUTER CASE IS LINED WITH A HAND WRITTEN WATCH PAPER READING, "ARCHIBALD WATT, WATCH & CLOCK MAKER, 126 CHAPEL ST., ABDN". THE INNER CASE MEASURES 48MM IN DIAMETER AND OUTER CASE MEASURES 55MM IN DIAMETER. THIS PIECE HAS A VERY HANDSOME APPEARANCE AND WOULD MAKE A LOVELY ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.
