Description

Gold-plated pocket watch with a small gold moveable clip attached for snapping onto a chain. Face is white with black numbers from 1 to 12 in script ("6" is missing, as a small dial covers it; this dial marks off the seconds). Above the script numbers, the minutes are marked in red from 5 to 60. All hands are black. The name "Waltham" in small block black letters is below the "12". The watch is wound at the top; the covering loop is flexible. The watch is in working order. On the back, the initials "F.W.L." are engraved in script.
