Description

A pocketwatch attributed to William Workman, ca. 1850s. The item appears to be gold and has a seconds dial at the bottom. There is no maker's name on the dial, though the numbers "18" and "29960" are on the inside of the lid and removing the face should reveal the manufacturer. Attached to the bow is a chain of leather and metal with two keys and a horseshoe pendant attached to it. With tarnish on the inside of the lid, small scratches and other light wear, the condition is good.
